By Julie Flett
Each page shows sweet, precious animals hopping, peeking, peeping, bubbling and more followed by joyous children who play too! Flett was taught about the interconnectedness with the animals and natural world around her by her father and she includes her Cree words, “kimetawanaw mina” to remind us that, “We play too.” Her use of soft colors, quiet backgrounds, simple shapes and perfect placement of characters on the page, all add to the specialness of this book.
One clearly feels Julie Flett’s desire to share this “kinship” with all of us. She does a splendid job.
