Illustrated by
Erin Hill.
During the car ride to celebrate Christmas on the Rez, Baby asks questions that Mommy and Daddy patiently answer, sharing Anishinaabe customs and beliefs. Once they arrive, Baby tells their grandparents, Kookum and Mooshom, what they learned: "we are all family"; "it is good to give things away"; "home is where we come from." Hill's digital illustrations feature a loving Native family proud of their culture. An endnote explains the relationship between traditional Anishinaabe winter solstice observances and the adopted holiday of Christmas.
