The Story

One day, the Creator gave spirits called the Seven Grandfathers the power to protect and watch over the Anishinaabe people. The Grandfathers sent a Messenger down to earth to find someone to share the Anishinaabe values. After looking everywhere, the Messenger found a baby.

The Seven Grandfathers told the Messenger to bring the baby around the Earth for seven years to teach the Anishinaabe way of life. When they returned, the baby was a young boy. The Grandfathers gave the boy the seven teachings of love, respect, bravery, truth, honesty, humility, and wisdom to the Anishinaabe people.

"To See With My Heart"

Fritzie Catada2

This short story is about using our hearts to see and understand the Seven Grandfather teachings on how people should behave toward others and the Creator through the Indigenous Peoples perspective (Anishnaabe).

I specifically designed this book for Indigenous children in mind who may have vision impairment while staying connected to their culture. However, this is an inclusive book that is free to be read by everyone. Thank you!
