N'oublie jamais qui tu es

by Gabrielle Prince, Leona Prince, Sara General (Illustrator), Rachel Martinez (Translator)

Overview

Tu as plus de pouvoir que tu le crois.

Ce livre aux illustrations lyriques parle aux jeunes de leurs racines culturelles, de la sagesse de leurs ancêtres et de leur propre potentiel. Chaque page propose une affirmation sur l’identité, le respect, l’amour et la vérité, encourageant tous les enfants à accepter leurs dons et leur pouvoir uniques. En abordant la résilience qui coule dans leurs veines et les savoirs inscrits dans le ciel, N’oublie pas qui tu es inspire les enfants à se considérer comme des membres à part entière de leur communauté, comme des personnes capables à la fois d’un grand leadership et d’une grande gentillesse.

Parfait pour la lecture à l’heure du coucher et les discussions en classe, l’album favorise un profond sentiment d’appartenance et de fierté en célébrant l’héritage autochtone et en rappelant aux jeunes lecteurs qui ils sont vraiment. Également disponible sous le titre Remember Who You Are en anglais.
