Requests:  0 Summary:  "In this bilingual book, an Anishinaabe child explores the story of a precious mnoomin seed and the circle of life mnoomin sustains. Written in Anishinaabemowin and English, the story opens at harvest time. A child holds a mnoomin seed and imagines all the life that made a single seed possible--Mayfly, Pike, Muskrat, Eagle and Moose, all had a part to play in bringing the seed into being. What will happen if the seed sprouts? Underwater leaves will shelter young fish, shoots will protect ducklings, stalks will feed larvae, in turn providing food for bats...until finally mnoomin will be ready to harvest again. We follow the child and family through a harvest day as they make offerings of tobacco, then gently knock ripe seeds into their canoe. On shore, they prepare the seeds, cook up a feast, and gratefully plant some seeds they'd set aside. This beautifully written and illustrated story reveals the cultural and ecological importance of mnoomin. As the author's note explains, many Anishinaabeg agree that "wild rice" is an inaccurate term for this plant relation, since part of the harvest is sown every year to help sustain human and non-human beings. Includes a translator's note."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Luby   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library E -- Easy New Books Lu   Checked out 07/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library E -- Easy New Books Luby   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library E -- Easy New Books Luby   Checked out 07/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order     in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library E -- Easy New Books Luby Anishinaabemowin Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Lu   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Luby   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library J -- Foreign Languages An Luby Bi-Lingual Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Bookmobile Floating Collection Luby   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
