Niwechihaw – I Help
Written and illustrated by Caitlin Dale Nicholson
Translated by Leona Morin-Neilson
This simple story in Cree and English explores a young child’s relationship to his grandmother, or kohkom, as they go for a walk in the bush to pick rosehips. The young boy follows his grandmother, walking, listening, picking, praying, and eating—just as she does. In doing so, he absorbs the rich cultural traditions and values of his Cree heritage.
