Review quotes

Like many board books, Nibi is Water = nibi aawon nbiish will assist youngsters in increasing their vocabulary, but this time, not in one but two languages. Perhaps more importantly, the board book provides an early introduction to the concept of caring for one of the world's most important resources.—Dave Jenkinson "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"
