A vibrant introduction to Nisga'a language and tradition, this heartwarming tale celebrates the enduring bond of family through the lens of contemporary Indigenous culture and hand-drawn illustrations..

A young Nisg̱a'a boy, Simgan, learns to cook hamburger soup and fry bread with Grandmother on a crisp fall day. As they gather ingredients, chop vegetables and stir the pot, Grandmother remembers coastal fishing trips and community with friends--blending Nisg̲a'a vocabulary into her stories of food, family and tradition to create cultural memory and document everyday life.

Indigenous people have many differences from Nation to Nation, yet the hamburger soup recipes in these households are often very similar. This story celebrates shared traditions, the wisdom of Elders and the importance of giving back to the community.

To assist early language learners, a pronunciation guide to the Nisg̱a'a vocabulary found within Hamburger Soup will be available on the author's website, www.samanthabeynon.com.
