Description

"Join celebrated artist Julie Flett on a joyful romp with animals. From chasing, chirping birds, to swimming, squirting whales, this book for young readers reminds them how animals play just like them. This picture book, with gorgeous images and sweet simple text, is a marvelous celebration of the interconnectedness of all creatures, and includes some Cree phrases. It is based on the Cree teaching of wahkohtowin, interconnectedness and play, and includes as well the English and Cree names of the animals in the book, all of whom are from 'Turtle Island' (North America)."--

lovely animals, action words, and a little Cree
LibraryThing member RachelMahan
Illustrations look almost like felt. The message is: We aren't all that different from animals. We all play and sniff and swim and sleep. It's wonderful to see Indigenous/First Peoples representation in children's literature.
