If you spend the afternoon with Mosom, you might make him tea and listen to stories.
If you make him tea, chances are that he will want some bannock to go with it. He will tell you his stories, show you pictures from when he was young and share his Knowledge. Although Mosom may move a little slower and sometimes forget things, you can help him find his glasses and go for walks together. It's okay to go slow. Along the way, Mosom will teach you new Cree words and the best places to find delicious saskatoon berries. And when you're back home again, Mosom might just ask you to make him another cup of tea.
With warm, engaging illustrations, this story celebrates the joy and importance of spending time with Elders, passing down Traditions, and the lasting bond between a child and his mosom. A gentle story that highlights meaningful connection between generations.
