Join Wilfred Burton for the Saskatoon launch of Kohkum's Royal Bannock (Thistledown Press).This event will be held live in the Travel Alcove and also available as a simultaneous YouTube stream.
This lively and whimsical tale begins with a letter from the government asking Kohkum to cook bannock for the Royal visit. Kohkum's grandson Xavier is as excited as she is, until they do the math and are shocked to learn that they are cooking not just for the Queen but for her entourage and guests too! Beautifully illustrated, and fully bilingual in Michif and English, Kohkum's Royal Bannock is a feast for the eyes and a tickle for the funny bone.
Author Wilfred Burton, a proud Michif, grew up in the Midnight Lake area of Saskatchewan. He was an elementary teacher, university instructor and literacy coordinator for over 30 years. He is currently retired and spends his time writing, reading, gardening, beading, rug hooking and doing lots of volunteer work in the community. He is a published author of several Métis specific picture books. His love of storytelling, fiddle music and dance came as gifts from his mother, Georgina Nolin, which he loves to share with others through presentations and writing. He lives in Saskatoon.
