Kuekuatsheu Creates the World
The story of how the world came to be on the turtle's back can be found
in Indigenous cultures throughout North America/Turtle Island. It has
many variations. This moving version of the tale-a story of resilience,
sacrifice, and friendship-is one that Annie Picard was often told as a
child by her maternal grandmother while they lived in nutshimit (on the
land) in the Labrador/Quebec peninsula. Picard's lovely re-telling of
this traditional Innu story of how little muskrat makes an enormous
sacrifice to help the wolverine and his other friends rebuild the world
after a great flood is brought vividly to life by Elizabeth Jancewicz's
stunning illustrations.This is a bilingual edition in English and the Mushua dialect of Innu-aimun
