“Book Descriptions: While descending the Kuakuapishish River
I am transformed into a butterfly
With my new wings, like a wolf I cry
When night falls

(Cynthia)

Illustrator Roge visited a school in Mingan, an Innu village in northeastern Quebec. He spent a few days taking the time to photograph each child. Once he returned home to his studio, brush in hand, he revisited the eyes of these children and drew their portraits.
Mingan, My Village is a collection of 15 faces and 15 poems written by young Innu. Given a platform to be heard, the children chose to transport readers far away from the difficulties and problems related to their realities to see the beauty that surrounds them in nature.”
