Robertson is a wonderful book about a kid hanging out with their grandpa and learning the ways of the trapline with wonderful illustrations by Julie Fleet. ( ) A boy and his grandfather (or moshom) travel north to rediscover the moshom's trapline. It creates a connection between the two and offes a beautiful description of the grandfather's life in an earler time. Beautifully told and illustrated. Nearly every page provides a Swampy Cree word to learn. Good for ages 6+. Father's Day gift prompted by a radio interview with the author & illustrator. The link to contemporary indigenous communities was enough to purchase, I think. I enjoyed the illustrations, and understated references to culture and folkways. The theme of generational friendship is evocative in much the same understated way, meaningful to both family and community. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A picture book celebrating Indigenous culture and traditions. The Governor General Award-winning team behind When We Were Alone shares a story that honors our connections to our past and our grandfathers and fathers. A boy and Moshom, his grandpa, take a trip together to visit a place of great meaning to Moshom. A trapline is where people hunt and live off the land, and it was where Moshom grew up. As they embark on their northern journey, the child repeatedly asks his grandfather, "Is this your trapline?" Along the way, the boy finds himself imagining what life was like two generations ago -- a life that appears to be both different from and similar to his life now. This is a heartfelt story about memory, imagination and intergenerational connection that perfectly captures the experience of a young child's wonder as he is introduced to places and stories that hold meaning for his family.--Amazon.
