Once Upon a Christmas in Île-à-la-Crosse
Rita Bouvier, Kate Boyer (Illustrator), Vince Ahenakew (Translator)
In vivid and heartfelt prose, Rita Bouvier reminisces about her childhood in the historic, Métis community of Île-à-la-Crosse. Readers learn how this deeply spiritual, family-oriented community came together to prepare throughout the year before celebrating Christmas – from planting gardens and harvesting in the fall, to ordering dresses through catalogues, to dressing up for Midnight Mass – in a time and place when community connections and relationships mattered. Kate Boyer’s colourful oil pastel art captures the magic of the community’s togetherness.
