WINNER OF THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S AWARD
A boy and Moshom, his grandpa, take a trip together to visit a place of
great meaning to Moshom. A trapline is where people hunt and live off
the land, and it was where Moshom grew up. As they embark on their
northern journey, the child repeatedly asks his grandfather, "Is this
your trapline?" Along the way, the boy finds himself imagining what life
was like two generations ago -- a life that appears to be both different
from and similar to his life now. This is a heartfelt story about
memory, imagination and intergenerational connection that perfectly
captures the experience of a young child's wonder as he is introduced to
places and stories that hold meaning for his family.
