Naaahsa Is an Artist!
by Hali Heavy Shield (Author)
Naaahsa says art is a language everyone understands. Sometimes we make art together. We draw, we bead, we sing. Sometimes Naaahsa tells stories in Blackfoot. I even get to go with her to see her art show at the National Gallery. Naaahsa is famous for her art, but I love her hugs best!
Naaahsa is an Artist! is a celebration of art, artists, and Indigenous women artists in particular. Each page comes to life with bold patterns, shapes, and Naaahsa's encouraging words that may inspire young readers to want to make art themselves.

Review quotes
Readers will feel the safe and comforting presence of the narrator's grandmother and her strong connection with her granddaughter.... Nevertheless, this is also a story with depth, about maintaining connection to the past through a spoken language - Blackfoot. At residential school, a defiant whisper in Blackfoot says so much: Kitsiikákomimm. I love you. —Ildiko Sumegi "Quill and Quire"
