(herring) return to the waters of the ?a??m?n Nation, located on the southwest coast of British Columbia. For osil and her grandparents, their arrival is the beginning of a full year of harvesting traditional foods provided by the sea and land. Together they fish, pick berries, and dig for clams. Everything tastes so good. And the best part is that there is enough for everyone to share! Connect with the land and explore traditional Indigenous ways of gathering food in this beautifully illustrated picture book written in the language spoken in ?ay?aju(Sk(B?m and English. Drawn from the childhood memories of osil (Betty Wilson), this book is sure to charm readers of all ages. This book includes a glossary and pronunciation guide, a map, and illustrations and descriptions of the traditional foods mentioned in the story.
