Description:
Ma'iingan loves to sing and her family loves to hear her beautiful voice. Her little sister wants to sing just like her. As rivalry erupts between the siblings, can Ma'iingan find the humility to share her talent with her sister? A pronunciation guide for the Anishnaabemowin words can be found at the back of the book.
Review Quotes:
Katherena Vermette's The Seven Teachings Stories series is a collection of books that holds all the qualities children's literature can have; her tales are educational, joyous, vivid, and have an irresistible cadence. But the stories have something more. Rich in culture and traditional knowledge, Katherena's series addresses important topics--such as the residential school system--with the very teachings the series embodies: love, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility, and truth.
