| Publisher Description: See below for English description. Nibi (dont le nom signifie eau dans la langue anishinaabe) est une jeune fille autochtone à la recherche d'eau potable. En dépit des nombreux obstacles auxquels elle fait face, elle provoque d'importants changements dans son entourage! Bientôt, grâce à sa détermination et à son énergie contagieuse, tous les membres de sa communauté ont accès à de l'eau de qualité. Cet album parfait pour la lecture à voix haute démontre que, même lorsqu'un problème semble trop gros à affronter, les efforts de chacun d'entre nous comptent! Parents et enfants seront inspirés par le texte empreint d'espoir de l'auteure Sunshine Tenasco et par les illustrations à couper le souffle de Chief Lady Bird, qui évoquent la force et la résilience. Nibi is an Indigenous girl on the search for clean water to drink. Though she is faced with repeated obstacles, Nibi's joyful and determined energy become a catalyst for change and action as her community and, in widening circles, the country and government, rally around her to make clean drinking water available for all. There is a strong underlying message that even when a problem seems too large to face, every bit that everyone does helps. And inaction is not an option. Sunshine Tenasco, an Anishinabeg activist for clean water, has an amazing optimistic spirit that shines through her writing. The hopeful tone and lyrical read-aloud quality of this gentle allegorical tale open the door to conversations and action aimed at young children, whether they are on a reserve that does not have clean water or they are living with access to clean water. Chief Lady Bird's stunning, original artwork carries through the themes of strength, hope, and resilience in an incredible collaboration of talent. Original title: Nibi's Water Song |
