Makwa has to go to a new school … and he doesn’t want to. How will he face his first day?

The First Day is one book in The Seven Teachings Stories series. The Seven Teachings of the Anishinaabe—love, wisdom, humility, courage, respect, honesty, and truth—are revealed in seven stories for children. Set in urban landscapes, Indigenous children tell familiar stories about home, school, and community.

Reviews

Katherena Vermette's The Seven Teachings Stories series is a collection of books that holds all the qualities children's literature can have; her tales are educational, joyous, vivid, and have an irresistible cadence. But the stories have something more. Rich in culture and traditional knowledge, Katherena's series addresses important topics--such as the residential school system--with the very teachings the series embodies: love, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility, and truth.
