This is such a lovely little collection to listen to on audio! It’s a collection of traditional Anishinaabeg stories, written to be read aloud to children and adults alike. They have moral teachings, but aren’t meant to brow beat the reader. They’re gentle reminders of Anishinaabeg values, such as the importance of community, respect for natural resources and the land and respect for one another. The narrator, Tiffany Ayalik, does a delightful job of bringing these stories to life with their humour and whimsy. Since they’re meant to be heard aloud, audio is the perfect way to experience this collection! They’d be ideal as bedtime stories for both children and adults. 

I was appreciative of the Anishinaabemowin vocabulary at the start of every story. The author said one of the intentions of this collection was not to teach the language but to spark an interest in it, which I think is definitely achieved!
