We All Play

The beloved book about playtime from award-winning Cree-Métis author and artist Julie Flett. Now available as a board book, We All Play is the perfect gift for a new baby or toddler!

Named a Best Children’s Book of the Year by New York Times, Washington Post, New York Public Library, Kirkus Reviews, Globe and Mail, Horn Book, and Boston Globe.

Baby animals and kids love to play! This wonderful book celebrates playtime and the connection between children and the natural world. Julie Flett’s iconic illustrations celebrate birds who chase and chirp, bears who wiggle and wobble, and owls who peek and peep. A group of kids love to do the same thing, shouting, “We play too! kimêtawânaw mîna.” 

At the end of the book, the baby animals and kids gently fall asleep after a fun day of playing outside, making this book a great bedtime story. Featuring a glossary of Cree animal names used, We All Play is a beautiful ode to the creatures we share our world with, and belongs on every bookshelf.
