Book Launch of Amik
By Sharon King
The beaver is busy…
Amik tells us a story about the environment, and how all living things coexist in unity and in one day. As Amik works, he is surrounded by nature and responsibilities of other animals and little beings. At the end of the long day, Amik returns to his den to be with his family.
With its beautiful cut-paper illustrations and story told in Anishinaabemowin and English, Amik is a fun, colourful, and educational book for children ages three through six.
After the reading, Sharon will share some secrets on how her beautiful illustrations are created.
Amik is for children 3 -6 years
This event follows the performance of The Friendship Star by Cheri Maracle.
