A counting board book full of love perfect for new baby gifts. Could be paired with Van Camp's other Plains Cree bilingual baby board books also.

Board books are excellent ways to have kids get used to the idea of books in general. And what a delight to find books that have both English and Plains Cree narratives. This book is one in a series of books with the dual languages.

Kiss by kiss

Babies love bright colors. They love to see themselves in books, and it is wonderful that this series is there so that it can be shared in both Plains Cree and English.

"Kiss by Kiss" is a very sweet book. It is an introduction to counting by counting kisses and filled with beautiful photography of diverse families. There are several races pictured along with single parents, a family with two dads, and a child with a grandfather.

"Kiss by Kiss" is a dual language book and features Plains Cree alongside English. For people new to Cree (like myself) there is a pronunciation guide at the beginning of the book.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Kiss by KIss is a cute little counting book that offers up sweet little verses about kissing while teaching counting in English and in Cree. It's a lovely little read, with very cute photographs.
