ReviewsA quiet, gentle picture book about a contemporary First Nations family and their ties to one another, their heritage, and their homeland., Praise for Niwechihaw / I Help by Caitlin Dale Nicholson with Leona Morin-Neilson: "...a quiet narrative...broad brush strokes and blurred colours conveying light and atmosphere as much as personality...the simple verbs in present tense provide a wealth of clues about the workings of the Cree language." Toronto Star "...acrylic-on-canvas paintings give a dream-like feel to the story, making it almost a nostalgic look at childhood...Recommended." CM Magazine "Textured acrylic paintings, done in rich earth tones...portray the sanctity of the natural environment...a sensitive, respectful portrayal of contemporary Native Americans."
