Who do you see and hear in the woods today? Can you see a fox digging, spot two minnows dancing or hear a swarm of bees buzzing? Boozhoo! / Hello! introduces children to familiar animals as they go about their daily activities: walking, running, swimming, climbing and finally - when the day is done - sleeping! A QR code on the back cover links to a blog post that includes Anishinaabemowin audio recordings of the animal names featured in the story, read by Mary Ann Corbiere. Audience: Ages 3 and under.
