Mama Sasquatch (English)

Description

Written & Illustrated by Eva Swift

A charming, soothing story for young children.

When searching for berry bushes, Nala becomes lost, alone in the forest! Fortunately, Mama Sasquatch hears her cries and keeps her safe through the night. The following day Nala learns how Mama and Baby Sasquatch live in the forest away from people, and why.

Mama Sasquatch flips the usual narrative of the dangerous Sasquatch to that of a comforting protector. Written and illustrated by a young member of the Ditidaht First Nation.
