Book Review and Contest: Nibi is Water
Hi everyone,
Did you like the story Spring’s Gift in the April issue of Chirp magazine? If so, then you will love Canadian author-illustrator Joanne Robertson’s new book, Nibi is Water.
Nibi means water in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) and this board book is all about how important it is to protect and respect the water of the Earth. You can read along with Joanne’s cute and colourful illustrations of Nibi as she splashes and drips around.
For a chance to WIN a copy of Ibi is Water, comment on this post or email us with your first name, age, and one thing you do to appreciate or protect water.
Good luck!

not waste it
Hi, I’m Gabriel Harlow. I’m 7 years old. To protect water I shower instead of having a bath because it uses less water. I also have a quick shower and turn off the water while I put on soap.
My name is Rose. I’m three years old. I helped daddy set up our rain barrels, and I don’t litter.
Milan, 4, does not leave the water running during the shower or brushing teeth.
Yong-Min, 5 years old
I appreciate and at the same time protect water by using the pail when showering in order to control the amount of water I use.
I make sure my little sister turns the water off when she’s finished washing her hands because she always wants to leave it running.
Ivy, age 7
I turn off the water when I’m brushing my teeth to save water.

Hi I’m James and am 4 tears old. I turn facet off when I wash my hands.
I help my parents pick up garbage around the pond by my house.
I use rainwater to water my flowers.
I help by monitoring my little sisters who tend to leave the water running. I also make sure to turn the tap off when brushing my teeth and taking very quick showers.

I turn the water off when I brush my teeth and my mommy and me are getting a new rain barrel for our garden.
