Hello! Wik'sas? is a book for curious kids who ask big questions – and adults who help them discover the answers.

It is an illustrated conversation between Isla and Ethan – son and daughter of Kwakwaka’wakw Chief Rande Ola K'alapa, a much loved artist of mixed European and Indigenous decent – and their invisible friend Siri. Isabel Rogers, also a kid, is part of the story-telling process. We want this book to be a bridge. a route to one important thing: kindness… There are serious questions asked in this book, which provides an opportunity to discuss bullying, environmental protection, and inclusivity, all very important topics for children. We want lots and lots of kids to share in our fun and to think about their own questions, and discover the answers to them.

Über Autor(innen)

Rande Cook is represented by several important galleries which respect his voice as a ground breaker in contemporary Canadian northwest coast culture and urban Indigenous reality. Fluidity of line, innovation in colour and design, and wit are the hallmarks of his art, which is a natural companion to oral storytelling. Next spring, Rande will curate a major show of art by "Coast Protectors," a personal mission shared by Linda Rogers. He tells the stories of his N’amgis, Ma’amtagila and Mamalilikala people through blending tradition and innovation. Linda Rogers of Victoria, British Columbia, is a past Poet Laureate and Canadian People's Poet of Victoria who writes poetry, fiction, song lyrics, scripts, and literary criticism. She has been awarded the Gwendolyn MacEwen, Livesay, Leacock, National Poetry, Rukeyser, Acorn, Cardiff, Montreal, Kenney, Voices Israel, Prix Anglais and Bridport literary prizes. Recent titles include Bozuk., Crow Jazz, and Repairing the Hive.
