Indigenous Books for Learning, Gifting, and Connection to Land

I’m so excited to share a collection that’s very close to my heart… the three Indigenous books I’ve created for children, families, and classrooms. These books were made to support learning, connection, creativity, and cultural understanding through story, land-based education, and Indigenous art.

If you’re looking for Indigenous books, Indigenous children’s books, or meaningful Indigenous gifts for classrooms, homes, and community spaces, these three titles were created to be both educational and joyful – rooted in respect, culture, and connection to the land.

As a First Nations educator and artist, each book reflects my lived experience, my relationship with land, and my belief that children learn best through story, nature, and creativity. These are books for teaching, gifting, learning, and growing together.

The Indigenous Nature Alphabet is a hand-drawn colouring book that blends learning, Indigenous art, land-based education, and cultural reflection into a meaningful ABC journey.

Alongside each illustration is a companion explanation that shares the cultural meaning behind each element, grounding the artwork in lived experience and Indigenous knowledge.
