Using the Ojibwe Seven Grandfather Teachings, this picture book by acclaimed author Dawn Quigley (Ojibwe) and debut Din? (Navajo) artist Nanibah Chacon introduces universal values for living with loving recognition of a child’s own inner goodness.
Each of us has an inner light that might not always be seen by others. Aaniin (ah-NEEN) is a greeting in the Ojibwe language for hello and can also be translated as “I see your light.”
With the help of the Ojibwe Seven Grandfather Teachings–Love, Respect, Bravery, Truth, Honesty, Humility, and Wisdom–we can learn to see this brilliance shining through everyone and express our appreciation for one another’s light.
Includes an author’s note and a note from Heartdrum author-curator Cynthia Leitich Smith.
