Brothers, Joe and Cody live with their mother and father. They don’t live in any one place, rather they follow the caribou all winter long. Joe and Cody love to play, dance, and sing and they often sing a song while they travel, to attract the caribou.
This is a wonderful adventure book that children of all cultures will enjoy. The Illustrations by Brian Denies are stunning. Give your children a treat and a small glimpse into Cree culture, read this book with them.
Written in both English and Cree, Caribou Song is the first in a trilogy of children’s books. I plan to read the other two as well, so stay tuned.

Ooh, I want this! I really enjoyed Highway’s Kiss of the Fur Queen.
Hi, Teddy!
Peter and I had such a wonderful time at lunch with you today! I hope it was only the first of many! 🙂
Talk to you soon!

I’ve yet to read anything by Highway, but have wanted to for a while.
Nymeth, I haven’t heard of Kiss of the Fur Queen. I will have to take a look at it.
Lezlie, I had a wonderful time too! It was so nice to finally meet you f2f. I think I’ll be back at least once a year to MN and I would love to do it again. You are both just as wonderful people f2f as you are in our blogging community.
I will post pictures when I return home.
Hugs!
John, highly recommended!
Sounds good, I’ll have to check the library for it, thanks Teddy!
Tomson Highway, a Canadian icon!
