About the Book

Tessa adore l'odeur d'histoires de feu de camp de sa grand-mère. Sa maman lui explique que Kohkom passe ses journées à coudre de magnifiques perles sur des peaux fumées. Tessa décide de demander à Kohkom de lui apprendre à perler, mais elle doit d'abord écouter et apprendre la multitude d'histoires que contient chaque perle. La célébration de l'artisanat, du langage, et de l'apprentissage dans la tradition cri. L'échange tendre de connaissances entre Tessa et son kohkom sera reconnu par de nombreux enfants. Les lecteurs apprendront qu'il y a de différentes techniques de perlage selon la communauté autochtone et que cette forme d'art traditionnel est toujours vivante et florissante. Également disponible sous le titre What's in a Bead? en anglais.

About the Author :
Kelsey Borgford est Nbisiing Nishnaabe, membre du clan de la Martre et de la famille Couchie. Elle réside actuellement dans la Première Nation de Nipissing, sur le territoire ancestral de son peuple. Elle puise son inspiration et sa volonté de réussir dans sa culture et sa famille. Tessa Pizzale a grandi à North Bay, en Ontario. Elle adore créer des illustrations, des peintures et des pièces d'artisanat autochtone comme des ceintures cérémoniales en cuir. Sa nikawiy lui a appris la couture et elle a acquis en grande partie son savoir-faire en perlage auprès de sa kookum. Lorsqu'elle n'est pas en train de lire ou d'animer bénévolement des visites guidées historiques, Isabelle Montagnier adore traduire des livres pour enfants, tout particulièrement ceux qui racontent des histoires poignantes. Membre agréée de l'ATIO et membre de plein droit de l'ATTLC, Isabelle habite à Toronto, en Ontario.

Review :
"A delicate tribute to beading and storytelling, connecting the past, present, and future of Native communities."-- "Kirkus" "Nbisiing Nishnaabe author Borgford approaches the history with sensitivity while interspersing Cree vocabulary into scenes of a close-knit family passing on knowledge. Cree illustrator Pizzale, meanwhile, captures the straightforward text in boldly colored illustrations filled with details of a long-held tradition."-- "Publishers Weekly" "A colourful new book will have children reading about close family relationships, the art of beading in different Indigenous communities, and Cree artisanship and language. Aimed at six to eight-year old children, the story is told from the viewpoint of the main character Tessa who loves and learns from her kokum." -- "Anishinabek News" "Culture is at the core of everything Kelsey Borgford creates." -- "Windspeaker" "Delight beckons from the cover to the last page of What's in a Bead?. Rich in visual details and told from the perspective of Tessa, a First Nations girl (Cree), What's in a Bead? documents educational, social, and cultural practices of beading in her family and community. It contains colour-rich, carefully rendered visual images, beaded objects, and ceremonies related to beading.... Recommended." -- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials" "Featuring a long-standing tribal tradition, What's in a Bead? by Kelsey Borgford highlights the special relationship between a young girl and her grandmother. Tessa's curiosity leads Kohtom to teach her the history and importance of beads in their culture." -- "Manistee News" "Written by a Nbisiing Nishnaabe author, What's in a Bead? shares indigenous words and customs alongside clear, bold illustrations." -- "Madison Public Library"
