Kisinaw - the Cree word for being cold outside. This book is perfect for December, and to end the year's reading on a beautiful note.
 The Theory Of Crows is a gorgeous read, the first adult fiction novel by author David A. Robertson.
 It's the story of teenager Holly (Hallelujah) and her father Matthew, and their struggles both as individuals and as father-daughter.
 A family tragedy forces them to find their way, and to reclaim their Cree family history and identities.
 There is much to relate to and learn from with these thoughtfully crafted and realistically flawed characters. 
 It's a story of healing and acceptance I won't soon forget. Recommended!
