Amik tells Moshoom about his wonderful school. Then his grandfather tells him about the residential school he went to, so different from Amik’s school, so Amik has an idea…

Amik Loves School is one book in The Seven Teachings Stories series. The Seven Teachings of the Anishinaabe–love, wisdom, humility, courage, respect, honesty, and truth–are revealed in these seven stories for children. Set in an urban landscape with Indigenous children as the central characters, these stories about home and family will look familiar to all young readers.

A pronunciation guide for the Anishnaabemowin words can be found at the back of the book.
