Discovering Words: English * French * Cree

Bridge the gap between languages and cultures with a vibrant trilingual guide to everyday words in English, French, and Plains Cree.

Building a strong vocabulary is the foundation of literacy, but Discovering Words offers something more: a gateway to cultural connection. In this beautifully realized hardcover, celebrated Cree artist and educator Neepin Auger introduces young learners (ages 6-8) to the essential words that shape their daily lives. By presenting each term in English, French, and Plains Cree, this book turns everyday objects into opportunities for linguistic discovery and Indigenous language revitalization.

Every page features Auger's signature high-contrast, colorful illustrations that help children associate images with language. To ensure that the Cree language is accessible to all, the book includes phonetic pronunciation guides for every word. This interactive approach encourages curiosity and confidence, making it an indispensable resource for classrooms and homes across North America.

Whether used to support a French immersion curriculum or to introduce Indigenous perspectives at home, Discovering Words fosters a deeper understanding of the diverse world we share. As a cornerstone of the Discovering series, it empowers the next generation to speak, read, and connect across cultural boundaries.
