    About An Anishinaabe Christmas

    A festive, joyful Indigenous picture book that explores both Christmas traditions and Anishinaabe culture, for fans of Santa in the City and Go Show the World.

    One winter solstice, Mommy says, “Baby, we’re going home to the Rez. We’re going to have an Anishinaabe Christmas.” But this is Baby’s first Christmas away from the city, and they’re worried! They have a lot of questions:

    How will Santa know where to find them?

    Why do we have presents on Christmas?

    How come they’re going home to the Rez but don’t live there?

    On the long trip to Mooshom’s and Kookom’s, Baby learns about animals being part of their family, about the North Star leading them home and even the meanings of some Anishinaabe words. Will this Anishinaabe Christmas be Baby’s best yet?

    Praise

    “A heartwarming and beautifully crafted book that shares the joy of Christmas through the lens of Anishinaabe culture.” —STARRED REVIEW, School Library Journal

    “The tender reunion with Kookom (Grandmother) and Mooshom (Grandfather) includes storytelling, sipping tea and eating bannock, singing, and giving gifts. Indigenous illustrator Hill’s cartoon art brings warmth and heart to Kinew’s simple narrative. . . . The sense of cultural pride and holiday joy will resonate with many young readers and their families. A sweet window into Anishinaabe Christmas traditions.” —Kirkus Reviews

    “This affectionate family story introduces a few words and cultural practices of the Anishinaabe, including those around December holidays, and does a good job explaining how home can mean different things.” —A Kids Book A Day
