PRAISE FOR When I'm a Moshom "Gentle and never didactic, Robertson skillfully conveys, in a Cree way, teachings and ways of being and knowing that were naturally passed down from his own father and moshom. The generational love and the ancestors uplifting the young ones is felt throughout the book." --Canadian Children's Book News "In this moving and deeply felt companion to On the Trapline. a child relates all the ways he will honor his beloved moshom (grandpa) and keep his memory alive." -- STARRED REVIEW, The Horn Book "A youngster bonds with his grandfather--and vows to one day walk in his footsteps. Warmhearted, loving and sure to resonate." -- Kirkus Reviews "Robertson's foreword introduces the book as an homage to his late father, preserving his memory for his own young son. The lyrical, poem-like form conveys deep reverence and the enduring role of grandparents in our lives.
" --Booklist "There are many wonderful books about the relationship between grandparents and their grandchildren, but When I'm a Moshom is one of the best I have read." -- Imaginary Elevators "While David A. Robertson's words are based in reminiscences of his moshom, When I'm a Moshom is not a story of sadness of loss. It is one of hope and promise for the future. I am in awe that When I'm a Moshom is [Corrie Hill]'s debut picture book." --CanLit for Little Canadians.
