Set in the Nicola Valley, British Columbia, in Canada's westernmost province, a First Nations family goes on an outing to forage for herbs and mushrooms. A grandmother passes down her knowledge of plant life and the natural world to her young grandchildren. - From Amazon
language - foraging - older generations
I found the way Campbell integrated the language teaching into the narrative fascinating - complete with prounciation. The story of preserving lost/dying arts of these First Nations languages and foraging, passing on the cultural heritage was moving and beautiful. I also loved the detail of spot art on each text page.
