Blue Spruce - Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox


     
Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox
Written and Illustrated by Danielle Daniel


In this introduction to the Anishinaabe tradition of totem animals, young children explain why they identify with different creatures such as a deer, beaver or moose. Delightful illustrations show the children wearing masks representing their chosen animal, while the few lines of text on each page work as a series of simple poems throughout the book.
In a brief author’s note, Danielle Daniel explains the importance of totem animals in Anishinaabe culture and how they can also act as animal guides for young children seeking to understand themselves and others.

I like this book because it has many different animals and many different people with different personalities. They are really describing themselves with animals.
