Shanyaak’utlaax: Salmon Boy is a Traditional Folklore story in which a boy disrespects the salmon he has been given to eat because there is mold on it. The Salmon People take him away to live with them for several years to teach him to value their gift and how to honor and respect it. When they return to the river where they were born, he goes with them and is reunited with his family and teaches everyone what he has learned from living with the Salmon People. The illustrations are gorgeous and ethereal watercolors which highlight the story and show additional details of the culture and ways of both the Tlingit and the Salmon People.… (meer)
This is a beautiful book -- the story, the pacing, the imagery, the message. Really, just a gift to get to read it.
Salmon Boy is from an ancient Tlingit story about respect for animals, nature and culture. It was illustrated by Tlingit artist Michaela Goade and is part of the award-winning Baby Raven Reads program that promotes school readiness and language development for Alaska Native preschool children. The beautiful placed based watercolor illustrations create an immersive visual experience that will draw readers in. This book won the American Indian Youth Literature Award for Best Picture Book in 2018.
