Reviews
""Readers learn that, together, the collaborating duo express their imagination through drawing, beading, singing, and storytelling. Furthermore, readers see them engaged in music-making via the first of Heavy Shield's expressionistic visual images that make use of neutral and cool colours which capture the tenderness of the strong emotional and arts-based connection between the two.... Naaahsa Is An Artist! is truly a gem of a picture book.... Highly Recommended."" -- ""Canadian Review of Materials"" ""The vibrant digital illustrations are filled with bold patterns and shapes, and the use of texture creates the illusion of collage art.... Understated yet heartfelt, this is a lovely addition to art and dual-language Indigenous picture-book collections."" -- ""Booklist""

Author Information
Hali Heavy Shield is a multidisciplinary artist and a member of the Blood Tribe of Southern Alberta. Her first book for children was inspired by the many adventures she's had with her mom, Faye, who is also an artist. Hali's work is influenced by experiences in her home community, including Blackfoot stories, significant sites, family, and women as sources of strength and goodness. She lives in Lethbridge, Alberta. Norma Jean Russell is a graduate of the Native American Studies program at University of Lethbridge, and is a native speaker of Blackfoot. Faye Heavy Shield has been one of Canada's preeminent artists within Alberta and the Blackfoot Confederacy for the past 30 years.
