Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This book is beautifully illustrated. I really enjoyed the story. I wish that there was a digital component to this book so I could hear the book being read aloud. I was unsure of my pronunciation of some names. I think it is an excellent introduction to the diversity of stories that make up our world. ( )Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This is a beautiful book. The artwork throughout is simply amazing. It's a wonderfully engaging tale of an indigenous culture. I hope Mr. Robertson writes more about the Cree.
My issue is that I think the editor missed the mix up with the children's characters and names. The younger child is obviously a girl/Lauren and the older a brother/James, yet the narrative flip flops between who is Lauren and who is James. Can someone clarify, please? Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. The Song That Called them home by David A. Robertson is a wonderful addition to our small Tribal Library. Young readers will enjoy the children's magical adventure with the Memekwesewak. The story is brought to life with beautiful illustrations. The dancing, singing & the thum thump will keep the younger ones wanting to turn the page to see what's next. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I love picture books that share Indigenous stories. They are a great way to connect young readers with these stories. Like many others of the same nature, this book has beautiful, expressive illustrations. I recommend reading the author's note first for readers who are not familiar with stories of the Memekwesewak.Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. An old, familiar myth, retold with beautiful illustrations. Two young siblings are lured away, in this case, by memekwesewak- the mischievous 'little people' figure found in various indigenous (and obviously other cultures) traditional story telling. It takes the love and commitment of their family to call them back home. It's hard to not read this and compare it to many modern indigenous people who are trying to reconnect with their ancestors in the wake of colonization/residential schools/60s scoop, but for young readers, it's a beautifully illustrated story about the power of love and family. I only wish that there was an audio recording of the songs out there on the net- it would be an awesome accompaniment and make read aloud that much better! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"One summer day, Lauren and her little brother, James, go on a trip to the land with their Moshom (grandfather). After they've arrived, the children decide to fish for dinner while Moshom naps. They are in their canoe in the middle of the lake when the water around them begins to swirl and crash. They are thrown overboard and when Lauren surfaces she sees her brother being pulled away by the Memekwesewak--creatures who live in and around water and like to interfere with humans. Lauren must follow the Memekwesewak through a portal and along a watery path to find and bring back James. But when she finally comes upon her brother, she too feels the lure of the Memekwesewak's song. Something even stronger must pull them back home"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
