Blueberry Patch / Mayabeekamneeboon (schchechmala… par Jennifer Leason
This book is the author’s perspective of his communities seasonal relocation to pick berries. It has vivid imagery of the nature and feelings associated with the move. Pictures are interesting and very abstract. I would use with 3rd or 4th to talk about writing about an event or memory.
This book does a good job of incorporating culture into a children's book. It follows the Saulteaux tribe as the pack up to go collect blueberries. What sets this book apart is how it includes a translation of what is being said into the native language. It allows anyone who reads to explore a new language and maybe pick up some words if they analyze the text. The pictures in this book are styled after traditional paintings and leave room for the reader to imagine what is going on in the picture. Another part of the book that is really unique is that it includes the recipe for the dish that is eaten, "Bannock." This would be a great book for children to read at any age especially when in an unit about Native American History.… (plus d'informations)
A story full of vivid imagery describing a grandfathers memories going blueberry picking. A great story to have in your classrooms for children to look at and deeper understand the lives and memories of others.
This story told both in english and the language spoken by the Saulteaux, Anishinaabemowin, tells of a journey made to go blueberry picking by the Elder Norman Chartrand and his family and tribe, one of the authors. Through the story and rich artwork and vocabulary allows for a beautiful window into the Saulteaux culture. I would use this book for 2nd-5th grade, looking at even recreating the artwork in the book or making the bread from the traditional recipe in the back of the book.
