Description

In this tender, lyrical story, a little girl and her grandfather embark on a journey of rediscovery as they reconnect with the Cree language—one word at a time. When language is treated as something to be lost, the two find that reclaiming it can also mean reclaiming identity, family history, and belonging. Through their shared lessons and growing confidence, the book explores themes of intergenerational connection, cultural resilience, and the power of words to heal and strengthen communities. With Melanie Florence’s warm, accessible storytelling, readers are invited to see language not just as communication, but as living heritage worth protecting.
