Discovering Animals: English * French * Cree

A vibrant trilingual journey through nature that brings the Cree language, English, and French to life for young explorers.

Spark a lifelong love for language and culture with Discovering Animals. This beautifully illustrated hardcover guide introduces children to the animal kingdom through a unique trilingual lens, featuring English, French, and Plains Cree-one of the most widely spoken Indigenous dialects across Western Canada and the northern United States.

Designed specifically for the curious minds of 6-to-8-year-olds, Neepin Auger's artwork creates a bridge between visual literacy and linguistic discovery. By providing clear pronunciation guidance for every animal name, this book empowers educators, parents, and librarians to foster an inclusive learning environment while preserving and celebrating Indigenous oral traditions.

Whether used in a French immersion classroom or as a bedtime story at home, Discovering Animals is more than a vocabulary builder-it is a tool for cultural reconciliation and awareness.
