Awâsis and the World-Famous Bannock by Amanda Strong, Dallas Hunt

4.0

This story is very sweet. A little girl is to take some bannock (a type of pastry) to a family friend, but she plays along the way and loses it. Her animal friends help by giving her the various ingredients. I love that this is a Native American language book. Many of the words are in Cree with no explanation until the end. The lovely illustrations help you figure out what ingredient and what animal is which Cree word, but thank goodness for the glossary at the end. I wish it would have included the english translations in the illustrations, or put the Cree word over the illustration so it was more exact. But overall it works. And I love that readers get a chance to learn native words and phrases.
