Ojibway Animals Board Book

Ojibway Animals is a 12-page board book made with recycled paper with soy-based ink and water-based coating from Native Northwest publishers. Ojibwe artist Jason Adair draws on teachings from his culture and is inspired by the Woodland x-ray art style in the creation of 11 animal and bird images. Eagles fly high above the trees and inspire vision and bring blessings. Turtles live on the land and on the water demonstrating their patience and wisdom. The artist notes that the animals’ protective spirits and powers offer us important life lessons. The creatures included in this board book include wolf, deer, bear, beaver, frog, loon, moose, hummingbird, and thunderbird. This is an important resource that introduces young children to the interconnectedness of all creation. Highly recommended.
