By Neepin Auger

Unlock the power of numbers through a trilingual lens of English, French, and Plains Cree in this essential foundational guide.

Counting is one of the first steps in a child's educational journey--why not make it a bridge to cultural discovery? In Discovering Numbers, celebrated Cree artist Neepin Auger introduces young learners (ages 6-8) to the world of mathematics through three distinct languages. By integrating English and French with Plains Cree, this book provides a vital resource for preserving Indigenous heritage while building essential numeracy skills.

Every page is a visual and linguistic feast, featuring Auger's signature vibrant illustrations that capture the imagination. To ensure the transition to a new language is seamless, the book includes easy-to-follow pronunciation guides for every Cree number. This interactive approach makes it an indispensable tool for parents and educators looking to foster inclusivity, cultural pride, and linguistic diversity from an early age.
