A beloved Indigenous classic recommended by Debbie Reese and the Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC).

Description

When a boy wears his new moccasins to a city school, his classmates want to know all about them. As the boy answers his classmate’s questions, readers learn who Kookum is, where leather comes from, and how leather is traditionally prepared for moccasins. But where did the beads come from?

Share this book with beginning readers to practise the important pre-reading concepts of rhythm and repetition.
