    Vermette, Katherena

    Abstract

    Miskwaadesi n’est pas sure de bien comprendre ce qu’est la vérité. Pourtant, elle en sait beaucoup plus qu’elle ne le croit. Les Sept enseignements sacrés des Anishinaabeg (l’amour, la sagesse, l’humilité, le courage, le respect, l’honnêteté et la vérité) sont au coeur de ces sept histoires pour enfants. Se déroulant en milieu urbain et mettant en scène des enfants autochtones auxquels tous les jeunes lecteurs pourront s’identifier, ces histoires abordent les thèmes du foyer et de la famille.
