Children Are Medicine

Children Are Medicine is the fourth colouring book by Anishnaabe artist Jackie Traverse. This new book contains both new drawings and original art by Jackie Traverse. Children are Medicine honours the place of children in the lives of Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous children were specifically targeted as part of a colonial mission which removed them from their families, their culture, and their vital role in sustaining their communities. In this book, Jackie pays tribute to and celebrates the joy and vitality that children bring to the life of communities. The love that children generate is vital to healing Indigenous Nations.
