The Gift Is in the Making

By Leanne Betasamosake Simpson & Amanda Strong
The Gift Is in the Making by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson & Amanda Strong digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The Gift Is in the Making retells previously published Anishinaabeg stories, bringing to life Anishinaabeg values and teachings for a new generation. Readers are immersed in a world where all genders are respected, the tiniest being has influence in the world, and unconditional love binds families and communities to each other and to their homeland. Sprinkled with gentle humour and the Anishinaabe language, this collection of stories speaks to children and adults alike, and reminds us of the timelessness of stories that touch the heart.

Also available as an audiobook narrated by Tiffany Ayalik. Find it through your favourite audio retailer!
