Summary:
Partez à l’aventure et découvrez le Nutshimit de Melissa Mollen Dupuis, brillamment illustré par Elise Gravel. Ce documentaire ludique, raconté à la première personne du singulier, s’adresse à tous les amateurs de la nature, petits et grands. Au fil des pages, Melissa nous amène au coeur de la forêt, sa forêt. Elle y décrit le territoire si important pour sa nation et pour toutes les premières nations du Canada. De la légende de la création de la terre à la vie innue d’aujourd’hui, le lecteur découvre le Nutshimit, l’espace physique et social, là où l’on pratique les activités traditionnelles (mordiller de l’écorce de bouleau, allumer un feu, cuire un pashimeu (pâté de bleuets), tresser le foin d’odeur…). En plus d’y trouver tous les éléments si chers à la vie en forêt (animaux, oiseaux, flore, faune, coutumes…) Melissa introduit des mots innus pour nous donner un bain complet de sa culture. On y retrouve aussi des activités chères aux peuples autochtones comme cuire la bannique, faire le sirop d’érable ou boucaner le saumon. Le ton familier et joyeux de Melissa ainsi que les anecdotes tirées de ses expériences font de cet ouvrage un outil indispensable pour connaître la vie en forêt.

Summary:
This innovative, ironic, and metaphoric exploration of the life of worms is a stunning showcase of Noemi Vola’s impressive and versatile talents as both an illustrator and a writer. Her funny, clever illustrations are paired with pithy, ironic text that conveys all you ever needed (and perhaps never needed) to know about worms. Beginning with ''factual'' material about worms in general, from eating habits to underground habitats to its varying shades of pink, there is much to discover about worms. The narrative then follows one worm in particular through a tragic loss of its better half (also known as the worm’s tail), becoming a metaphor for all who have loved and lost. The humor of both illustrations and text are paired beautifully, introducing a distinctive new artist with honed literary sensibility to the American audience.
