Description

Written by Melanie Florence a writer of Cree and Scottish heritage, and illustrated by François Thisdale.

Now in paperback, Missing Nimâmâ is the story of Kateri, a young Cree girl, growing up in the care of her grandmother. We see her reaching important milestones: her first day of school, first dance, first date, wedding, first child. Her mother is absent, but not gone, watching her child growing up without her.

Told in alternating voices of child and mother, Missing Nimâmâ is a story of love, loss, and acceptance, showing the human side of a national tragedy. Dreamlike illustrations by François Thisdale enrich Kateri's emotional journey. An afterword by the author provides a simple, age-appropriate context for young readers. Includes Cree words and glossary.
