Description

Juvenile Fiction. Juvenile Literature. HTML: Based on Haida artist Robert Davidson's own experiences with Tsinii (his grandfather), this beautiful story highlights intergenerational knowledge and authentic learning experiences. Off the northern tip of Haida Gwaii, a boy goes fishing with his tsinii, his grandfather. As they watch the weather, jig for halibut, and row with the tides, there's more to learn from Tsinii than how to catch a fish. Written by the creators of Potlatch as Pedagogy, this book brings the Haida Sk'ad'a Principles to life through the art of Janine Gibbons..

powerful and sensitive art of Janine Gibbons, young reader witnesses the wait and the catch, rocked by the waves of the ocean.

I love the Sk’ad’a stories series. These picture books are poetic, and a pure pleasure for the eyes.
