一本颂扬土著文化和传统的图画书,对我们与过去以及与我们的祖父和父亲的联系表达了敬意。
一个男孩和他的爷爷Moshom一起旅行,去拜访一个对Moshom来说意义重大的地方。捕兽线是人们打猎和靠土地生活的工具,也见证了Moshom从小到大的成长过程。当他们踏上向北的旅程时,小男孩反复问他的祖父:"这是你的捕兽线吗?" 一路上,男孩想象着两代人以前的生活是什么样的——这种生活似乎与他现在的生活既不同又相似。这是一个关于记忆、想象力和代际联系的感人故事,完美地描述了一个年幼的孩子在初次到达一个与他的家族有渊源的地方,初次听到对他们家有特殊意义的故事时的好奇。
A picture book celebrating Indigenous culture and traditions. The Governor General Award--winning team behind When We Were Alone shares a story that honors our connections to our past and our grandfathers and fathers.
A boy and Moshom, his grandpa, take a trip together to visit a place of great meaning to Moshom. A trapline is where people hunt and live off the land, and it was where Moshom grew up. As they embark on their northern journey, the child repeatedly asks his grandfather, "Is this your trapline?" Along the way, the boy finds himself imagining what life was like two generations ago -
- a life that appears to be both different from and similar to his life now. This is a heartfelt story about memory, imagination and intergenerational connection that perfectly captures the experience of a young child's wonder as he is introduced to places and stories that hold meaning for his family.
