A Day with Yayah by Nicola I. Campbell

5.0

I can feel the author's desire to share her language with the world and keep it from dying out. I have to admit, it is really hard to remember how to pronounce words that look similar to the Roman alphabet. But, I took my time and flipped back and forth between the glossary and the story and while I will remember a few of the smaller words, I don't think I understand how to pronounce or read "lh - slurpy L sound."

Aside from my terrible language learning skills, I loved being able to read a story of a grandmother passing on her culture, knowledge, and language to her grandkids. I hope many First Nation children will be able to learn about their heritage like these kids.
