If You Kiss a Kohkom

(Bilingual Edition, English and Plains Cree)

If you visit Kohkom, she will make you feel special and loved.

Spending the day with Kohkom is special. She will braid your hair, show you how to make beaded earrings and ribbon skirts, teach you her bannock recipe (don't forget to knead it with love!) and share her Knowledge. She will tell you about her childhood and share funny family stories. Even though Kohkom might forget your name, you always know that she loves you. And when you give Kohkom a piece of bannock with jam, she might just want a kiss to go with it.

This gentle story celebrates the role Elders play in sharing their culture, Knowledge and Traditions with younger generations. Its tender illustrations show the strong and loving bond between grandmother and granddaughter.
