Kôhkum, la grand-mère d'Awâsis, charge la fillette d'aller porter quelques-unes de ses fameuses banniques chez un proche.

Heureusement, le canard, le lapin, la grenouille et le hibou de la forêt possèdent chacun un ingrédient pour concocter une nouvelle fournée. De retour chez Kôhkum, il manque par contre du tohtôsâpoy (lait) pour compléter la recette, mais un ours qui a assisté à toute la scène pourrait également mettre la patte à la pâte pour que tous puissent partager les délicieuses banniques!

Time surfers

Sylvester, Kevin,


Various publishers. Caleb Fisher is the right-hand to his time-surfer, scientist father, John. Together on their thick metallic ship, they travel at super speed into the past and rescue treasures that have otherwise been lost—priceless works of art from the torpedoed RMS Lusitania, a crown jewel threatened by a flood in 1216 CE England—all for the good of humanity and for the glory of the ruling Global Council. But there are rules for time surfers. Never bring back anything that could change the course of history. And never, under penalty of death, bring back another human being. John Fisher is haunted by the loss of his wife in a mysterious incident, and he is always looking for a way to go deeper into the past and stay longer. John forbids Caleb to come on one particularly dangerous mission—to save ancient scrolls from the burning Great Library of Alexandria. But Caleb sneaks on board and what happens in 48 BCE returns with the Fishers into the future and changes their lives forever.

Sem's map

Thomas, Rebecca (Poet)


Various publishers. Sem is confused. The map Mr. Trainer has just put on the screen is all wrong. It's the same shape as Turtle Island but it's nothing but boxes and lines, and it's filled with names he doesn't know. There's no reference to the stories of the land his Kiju tells him every night while she braids his hair. But Sem's teacher and classmates claim there's nothing wrong. It's the same map they've always used. See tries to see the land the way Mr. Trainer showed him, but it just doesn't feel right. Where is the story of how the moose gets his dinner? Or where the fish run in the spring? Or when to tap the trees for syrup? With the help of Kiju, Sem will show his teacher and his classmates how the stories of the land, the Indigenous place names, are far older than any map.
