Description

Dans cette introduction enjouée à la tradition anichinabée des animaux totems, de jeunes enfants expliquent pourquoi ils ou elles s’identifient à différents animaux tels que les cerfs, castors ou orignaux. De charmantes illustrations montrent les enfants en masques d’animaux, alors que les quelques lignes de texte sur chaque page forment des poèmes simples.

Une note brève explique l’importance des animaux totems dans la culture anichinabée et comment ils peuvent aussi servir d’animaux-guides pour les jeunes enfants cherchant à se comprendre et à comprendre les autres.

 

In this introduction to the Anishinaabe tradition of totem animals, young children explain why they identify with different creatures such as a deer, beaver or moose. Delightful illustrations show the children wearing masks representing their chosen animal, while the few lines of text on each page work as a series of simple poems throughout the book.

In a brief author’s note, Danielle Daniel explains the importance of totem animals in Anishinaabe culture and how they can also act as animal guides for young children seeking to understand themselves and others.
