In 2018 the Babies, Books and Bonding team of the Northern Healthy Communities Partnership published “Are You Hungry”? a multilingual children’s board book available in Cree, Dene or Michif alongside English. Want to get your hands on a copy of the book? You can place an order by downloading the form and submitting to the NHCP Coordinator.
This resource was created for health care providers or other professionals that are distributing the book to provide an introduction to the Northern Book “Are You Hungry?”, as well as the history behind the project development. The resource also discusses the importance of early literacy and of traditional language knowledge, as well as educates on how to deliver the material to parents and techniques on vocabulary building for parents (how to read the book to build vocabulary and get the most engagement from your child).
