Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox
Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox | Danielle Daniel
4 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
In this introduction to the Anishinaabe tradition of totem animals, young children explain why they identify with different creatures such as a deer, beaver or moose. Delightful illustrations show the children wearing masks representing their chosen animal, while the few lines of text on each page work as a series of simple poems throughout the book. In a brief author's note, Danielle Daniel explains the importance of totem animals in Anishinaabe culture and how they can also act as animal guides for young children seeking to understand themselves and others.

Danielle Daniel's illustrations here are beautiful and fit the story perfectly. Her story of children identifying with animal totems in the Anishinaabe tradition is absolutely lovely and works so well. The author's note brought the whole thing together. This is well worth the read, and definitely a recommended picture book for all ages.

I missed getting a fair photo from the First Nations library poster. This is another book I'm keeping noted to check out. Something about this reminds me of the film Moonrise Kingdom, with the animal mask kids. 🦊

One of my favourite picturebooks I've read in a while, Sometimes I Feel Like A Fox introduces a new generation (as well as a lost generation) of Métis and Indigenous children to totem animals. It's an #OwnVoices book, thoughtfully presented, and beautifully illustrated. #Picturebooks #DanielleDaniel
