David A. Robertson is a member of Norway House Cree Nation and lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is the author of numerous books for young readers including the two Governor General's Literary Award–winning picture books On the Trapline and When We Were Alone, both illustrated by Julie Flett. He also wrote The Song That Called Them Home, a picture book illustrated by Maya McKibbin. His middle-grade fantasy series, The Misewa Saga, has received great acclaim and award attention. Corrie Hill is an artist, member of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation, Bear Clan, from Six Nations of the Grand River. Her passion for art began in her teenage years, and after working with various mediums, now prefers working digitally. Corrie views art as good medicine that strengthens her mental wellness and as an outlet to showcase her pride as an Onkwehón:we. Corrie currently resides in Brantford, Ontario, with her family.

This companion to the Governor General's Award–winning picture book On the Trapline is a loving and inspiring ode to grandparents.

When I’m a moshom, a long, long time from now, I will watch my grandchildren dance and play hockey, and I will be the loudest one cheering. I will take them on the trapline and teach them how to fish. I will feed them Bannock and share stories about our community. I will tell them I love them, just like my moshom did.

This heartwarming story thoughtfully explores the legacy of love, traditions and heritage passed down from generation to generation. Through the eyes of three siblings and their moshom (grandfather), readers are taken on a journey filled with cherished moments, from cheering at sports events to sharing traditional Cree knowledge and language. This picture book beautifully captures the bonds between grandparents and grandchildren, making it perfect for shared reading and an ideal gift for special occasions like birthdays, holidays or family celebrations.

Includes a glossary of Swampy Cree words and an author's note. Audience: Ages 3-7.
