Fishing with Grandma

Fishing with Grandma is a warm and informative story about two Inuit children who spend a memorable day learning how to ice fish with their grandmother on a frozen Arctic lake. Step by step, Grandma teaches them everything from how to test the ice to how to make a traditional jigging rod, ending the day with a delicious meal of Arctic char. This book is an excellent choice for students because it celebrates intergenerational learning and Indigenous cultural traditions, while opening a window into a way of life that many children have never encountered.
