Wild Berries

Ryan LaFerney

I just love the work of Julie Flett. Her illustrations and simple nature based stories, that also focus on the Cree language are a joy to behold. Wild Berries focuses on a boy named Clarence and his grandmother as they forage wild berries in the woods. There, Clarence gets to meet ant, spider, and fox and explore the beautiful woodland landscape. This book is written in both English and Cree, in particular the n-dialect, also known as Swampy Cree from the Cumberland House area. The book also includes a recipe for making blueberry jam!
