This Land Is a Lullaby/cistomâwasowin ôma askiy

This bilingual bedtime story is told in English and Plains Cree. A mother speaks gently to her infant about the ancestral land around them, drawing on traditional Cree knowledge and the landscape of the Plains. Delreé Dumont’s illustrations accompany the lullaby with glowing color, textured patterns, and images that evoke beadwork. The book brings language, family connection, land, and cultural knowledge together in a quiet nighttime address.
