Niwechihaw I Help

BY CAITLIN DALE NICHOLSON WITH LEONA MORIN-NEILSON

Brief Description:
Niwechihaw, I Help is a bilingual picture book that celebrates the role of a Cree grandmother (Kohkum) as she takes her grandson on a short trip to the bush to pick rosehips. Author Caitlin Dale Nicholson wrote and illustrated this gentle story with spare repetitive language about the child watching and following the lead of his teacher, Kohkum. As he follows his grandmother, the boy watches and learns the cultural practices necessary to properly gather the ingredients to make rosehip tea. Based on Cree and Tahltan teachings the book offers information about the environment and how to gather the plants needed to make this healing beverage.
