Nimoshom and His Bus

In this warm and joyful picture book highly recommended by Debbie Reese, children learn Cree from Nimoshom, their school bus driver. Based on the author’s memories of her grandfather, Nimoshom is not your average bus driver.

He loves to drive the school bus, tell silly stories, and share his language with the kids who ride his bus.

Nimoshom and His Bus introduces readers to common Cree words and phrases alongside the common childhood experience of riding the school bus.

A Cree word list is included in the back of the book.
