Review Were always delighted by books by Native writers--especially ones set in the present. The straightforward text is terrific. Hibbards illustrations perfectly capture the warmth and joy of the kids on that bus, and the guy who drives their bus. I highly recommend Nimoshom and His Bus! Itd be a simple thing to use other Native words in addition to-or instead of-the Cree words in the book. - Debbie Reese, American Indians in Childrens Literature Promotional Take a ride on the school bus with Nimoshom and learn common Cree words and phrases.
