Blueberry Rapids

by Rene Andre Meshake

Blueberry Rapids is the story of Giniw, an eight year old Ojibwe orphan, who loves to draw. Encouraged by his grandmother, he makes a Kikiweon (banner) which tells the story of Giniw's unusual experience at Blueberry Rapids. The Kikiweon proclaims him as a Picture-Keeper of the Anishinaabeg. The book is illustrated with twelve beautiful paintings by the author.

Blueberry Rapids is Andre Meshake's first children's book. He is a visual artist, writer, storyteller and singer-songwriter who lives in Guelph, Ontario and is one of the poets included in, Traces in Blood, Bone, & Stone: Contemporary Ojibwe Poetry published by Loonfeather Press.
