It's a Mitig! (en Inglés) - Bridget George

This award-winning introduction to the Ojibwe language and the natural world is now available in a board book edition.

Guided by playful rhyme and vibrant, charming illustrations, young readers are taken on a journey through the forest to meet the natural world in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe). From sunup to sundown, children will encounter an amik (beaver) playing with sticks, a prickly gaag (porcupine) hiding in the bushes, and a big, bark-covered mitig (tree).

Created by Anishinaabe author-illustrator Bridget George with the heartfelt desire to spark a lifelong interest in Indigenous languages, this book makes learning accessible, fun, and engaging for toddlers and preschoolers. As the winner of the prestigious First Nation Communities READ Award, this book is a trusted resource for families and educators alike.

Designed for comprehensive learning, the book includes an illustrated Ojibwe-to-English glossary and a simple guide to the double-vowel pronunciation system. For an interactive experience, it pairs with free online audio recordings so children and caregivers can hear and confidently practice correct pronunciation together. Available in a durable board book format that is perfect for little hands, It's a Mitig! is an essential addition to any young reader's library.
