E-books show kids the colour of Cree language

During her Cree language classes at the University of Alberta, Caylie Gnyra
had to translate sentences posted by her instructor, Dorothy Thunder.

Struck by the whimsy of one of the lines, Gnyra, who graduated in 2010 from
the U of A Faculty of Native Studies, adopted it for a class project that
has since turned into an online tool for Cree language teachers across
Alberta.

"What Colour Are Your Little Ducks?/Tân'sesinâkosiwak kisîsîpimisiwâwak"
became the title of an electronic book that Gnyra created for a class
project, and that has inspired more e-books that have just gone online free
of charge at *www.littlecreebooks.com*.
