handwashing book for children

[Manuela Noske]

Hi Richard,

the Indigenous Language Institute (ILI) teaches a workshop on how to create Native Language print materials (including children's booklets) using Publisher.  A number of example books are available on ILI's website here: http://www.ilinative.org/share/repository.html.  More info on the workshops is available here: http://www.ilinative.org/workshops/. 

 

Best,

Manuela

kweh Tammy, and all,


is there a place where we can see some of the 80 some books
to see if they can be helpful within our own community?


I'm currently writing and illustrating a few books for children
Just finished an interactive board book  
a story about a worm and his adventure with birds.
there are holes punched in so children can use their own finger to "be the worm."

if they paint a little face on their finger - all the better!


Some of these are "cross-cultural" and could be used with any language
or printed without words at all for the story teller to ad-lib.
Wyandotte Nation has be been ordering blank board books with sticky sheets
that can be run through the printer with any language.
I have many ideas but its all volunteer work and takes mega-time.
