Synopsis
Summary
A sweet, celebratory picture book about family and culture by two debut Métis creators centered around Indigenous peoples’ tradition of making moccasins.
Charlotte has outgrown her moccasins, so she and her Mom head to Grandma’s for new ones. Grandma teaches Charlotte how to make her new mocs step-by-step, and she learns a valuable skill from her beloved elder in this heartwarming multigenerational story.
