Erin Hill is an Indigenous artist.

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 and plants 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?  Full Colour throughout.
