When I'm a Moshom

When I'm a MoshomThis companion to the Award winning picture book On the Trapline is a loving and inspiring ode to grandparents. When I'm a moshom, a long, long time from now, I will watch my grandchildren dance and play hockey, and I will be the loudest one cheering. I will take them on the trapline and teach them how to fish. I will feed them Bannock and share stories about our community. I will tell them I love them, just like my moshom did.
