I'm going to shout about this book to friends and colleagues in children's literaturePublished in 2018 by Highwater Press, Awasis and the World Famous Bannock by Dallas Hunt and Amanda Strong is highly recommended!--Debbie Reese "American Indians in Children's Literature (AICL)" In his debut book, Hunt tells a story that already feels like a childhood classic. Young children will enjoy the tale's effective repetition of incident and language..., its cooperative animals, and the happy ending. Strong's charmingly faux naif illustrations, dominated by soft colors of blue, purple, brown, and green, are lovely and expressive-- "Kirkus Reviews" The writing and illustrations work very well together, making the book both enchanting and educational. Reading and learning from this book is one step that anyone...can make to support this work so that Indigenous languages and concepts will continue to be a vital part of the intellectual life in Canada.--Mary Jane Logan McCallum "Quill & Quire" Catchy and delightful, Awasis and the World-Famous Bannock has a strong plot that propels readers along at a brisk and exciting pace...Awasis and the World-Famous Bannock is a must-have for all Canadian children's collections. Highly Recommended. --Roxy Garstad "CM Association" Selected for AICL's Best Books of 2018--Debbie Reese "American Indians in Children's Literature (AICL)"
