Overview
A joyful celebration of the meals we make and share with all our relatives.
What’s that I smell? The kitchen is full of delicious smells and sounds of cooking as my whole family helps to make breakfast, lunch and dinner! My sister washes the blackberries, my mom husks the corn and my dad chops the carrots. My auntie, uncle, cousin, older brother, grandma and grandpa all help out, too. Then it’s time to eat!
Full of fun food vocabulary in both English and Anishinaabemowin, Wiisinidaa / Let’s Eat is a story about a family coming together to share their daily meals. This follow-up to Mooz / Moose and Boozhoo! / Hello! includes an author’s note and a translator’s note and is illustrated in Mangeshig’s colourful and appealing Woodland style.
