Stinky Sock Jam (PB) (Includes a translation in Michif-French) (FNCR 2026)

Doris McDougall, a Michif Elder, relates a memory from her childhood when she, her sister Marina, and her mother had an adventurous trip on horseback to pick cranberries to make jam and jelly for the winter. Did you know that cranberries smell like stinky socks? Stinky Sock Jam includes a translation in Michif-French as spoken by the Métis of St. Louis, Saskatchewan. This charming and humorous vignette of Métis Life is brought to life by Lucille Scott’s beautiful illustrations.
