This is a fantastic Children's Book that introduces children (and their parents) to Indigenous stories.

I love that these books are available in multiple Indigenous languages alongside English translations.

It is exceedingly important that we do everything we can to preserve these languages and this is a fantastic way to achieve this goal.

I rate this book as 5 OUT OF 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A picture book that teaches counting and has lots of pictures of babies with their families. It is in English but has a Native American (Cree) language translation on each page. I have no idea how to pronounce these words, so it's not like I could teach my children, but people that are able to speak it would be okay.

KISS BY KISS by author Richard Van Camp is a sweet sweet book with the most beautiful photos of families sharing kisses. This dual language English/Plains Cree volume is a counting book that can be used to honor your children as they learn to count. 5/5

Thanks to Orca Book Publishers and NetGalley for the review copy, in exchange for my honest opinions.

This is one of the sweetest board books for babies and toddlers I have ever read! Written in English and Plains Cree, this is a simple counting book that your child will love. The photographs are simply beautiful, include all generations and diverse families and show children kissing their loved ones.

Board books are excellent ways to have kids get used to the idea of books and knowing how to hold and manage books from an early age. This book is one in a series of books with the dual languages.

I hope this author continues to write more books for young children for spatial concepts, plurals, pronouns. As a speech language pathologist who works with young children, I am always looking for new ways for children to learn these concepts, and share with families.

Thank you to the publisher and #NetGalley for a pre-publication ebook in exchange for an honest review.

"Kiss by Kiss" is a very sweet book. It is an introduction to counting by counting kisses and filled with beautiful photography of diverse families. There are several races pictured along with single parents, a family with two dads, and a child with a grandfather.

"Kiss by Kiss" is a dual language book and features Plains Cree alongside English. For people new to Cree (like myself) there is a pronunciation guide at the beginning of the book.

Board books are excellent ways to have kids get used to the idea of books in general. And what a delight to find books that have both English and Plains Cree narratives. This book is one in a series of books with the dual languages.

Babies love bright colors. They love to see themselves in books, and it is wonderful that this series is there so that it can be shared in both Plains Cree and English.
