Aaniin: I See Your Light
Using the Ojibwe Seven Grandfather Teachings, this book offers ways to live a meaningful and ethical life and introduces children to these Ojibwe—and very universal—values. Lovingly written by Ojibwe author Dawn Quigley and beautifully illustrated by new Diné artist Nanibah Chacon. Perfect for family discussions!
Each of us has an inner light that is not always seen by others. Aaniin (ah-NEEN) is a greeting in the Ojibwe language for hello and can also be translated as “I see your light.”
With the help of the Ojibwe Seven Grandfather Teachings—Love, Respect, Bravery, Truth, Honesty, Humility, and Wisdom—we can learn to see this brilliance shining through everyone and express our appreciation for one another’s light.
With moving text by acclaimed author Dawn Quigley (Ojibwe), and illustrations by debut Diné (Navajo) artist Nanibah Chacon, this book reaches out with unconditional recognition and love to affirm a child’s own inner goodness. This is a great book for teaching children universal values.
