This beloved Indigenous classic begins when a little boy asks, "Mom, can I have some bannock?" Despite having all the ingredients, Mom can't make bannock.

As the little boy asks "why," beginning readers learn about the connections between living things in an ecosystem through the ripple effects of a beaver building a dam.

Children will be eager to chime in as Mom answers the little boy's questions about the power outage in their community and how it impacts his family. Enjoy Mom's bannock with your young reader using the recipe in the back of the book.
