Originally published as individual stories in the 1970s, under Billy Blackwell, Director and Editor of the Bilingual Reading Series, Nanaboozhoo Babaamosed brings together these traditional Ojibwe stories, offering readers a treasured bilingual text for language and cultural education. This 2nd edition, published in Ojibwemowin and English, includes original art created for the stories and an epilogue on the history of this project. Most importantly, as these traditional Ojibwe stories have been collected from the Anishinaabeg, we ask readers to keep with Ojibwe customs: Nanaboozhoo stories can only be told when there is snow on the ground and the thunders have gone south. They cannot be read in summertime or late spring or early fall. Two of the stories in this collection, "Nishiime, the Lost Boy" and "The Boy Who Turned Into a Robin," can be read year-round.

In this vibrant, beautiful children's book, readers will learn about hummingbirds and their yearly migratory patterns while also being exposed to Ojibwemowin, a beautiful language spoken by the indigenous tribes in parts of Michigan, Ontario, northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, and Alberta.From summer to spring, readers will follow a single male hummingbird as he transforms from a nestling to a fully grown male ready to welcome his own nestlings to the world. Read, listen, and make some of your own sugar water to help feed the hummingbirds!

Follow Nimkii on the trail, through the forest, and on the water and learn Ojibwemowin (or Anishinaabemowin), a language that is beautiful and ancient and conveys a unique way of seeing the world.
