You have always been here for me Will you help me learn to see?" "Nokum Is My Teacher" is the poetic story of a young aboriginal boy, posing questions to his grandmother, his "Nokum," about the wider world beyond the familiarity of their home and community. Through a series of questions, Nokum guides her grandson towards an understanding of his need to fit into and learn more about this large world beyond the reserve. Nokum offers her grandson a vision of a world he can enter through imagination and reading, while retaining respect for the ways of his people. By the conclusion of the book, the young grandson has learned many new ideas from his grandmother and discovered his own wisdom in dealing with the changes in his life.

The singing and drumming are done by Alberta's Northern Cree, who have been nominated for a Grammy Award (2007) in the 'Native American music album' category. "Nokum Is My Teacher" is also available in French/Cree text and audio as "Nokum: Ma Voix et Mon Coeur." This is the first of a series of aboriginal books David Bouchard is developing with Red Deer Press.
