Description
An Anishinaabe child explores the story of a precious mnoomin seed and the cycle of life it sustains.
Written in Anishinaabemowin and French, the story takes place at harvest time. The child holds a mnoomin seed and imagines all the life that made it possible: the mayfly, the pike, the muskrat, the eagle, and the moose all played a part in its creation. What will happen if the seed germinates? The submerged leaves will shelter young fish, the shoots will protect ducklings, the stems will nourish the larvae, which in turn will provide food for bats… until the mnoomin is ready to be harvested again.
This beautifully written and illustrated story reveals the cultural and ecological significance of the mnoomin.
