Caribou Song/atihko nikamon by Tomson Highway


This is the first in a three book series, "Songs of the Northwind" which are written in both English and Cree. They are wonderfully illustrated by Brian Deines.
.
This is the story of Joe and Cody. Joe loves to play his kitoochigan (accordion) and Cody dances to his music.
.
One day while hunting with their parents, Joe and Cody wander away and use their music and dance to call the caribou.
.
Readers of "Kiss of the Fur Queen" will recognize this story of Champion and Dancer.
.
Other books by Mr. Tomson that I have reviewed:
