Charlotte’s New Moccasins

Charlotte has outgrown her moccasins! Still, there’s nothing a trip to Grandma’s can’t fix in this heartwarming intergenerational story.

A sweet, celebratory picture book about family and culture by two debut Métis creators centered around Indigenous peoples’ tradition of making moccasins, perfect for 3-7-year-olds.

Charlotte has outgrown her moccasins, so she and her Mom head to Grandma’s for new ones. Grandma teaches Charlotte how to make her new mocs step-by-step, and she learns a valuable skill from her beloved elder in this heartwarming multigenerational story.

A contemporary celebration of Native culture, tradition, and family. A highly-relatable story for Indigenous kids and any kid that has ever outgrown their favorite thing to wear.

Back matter includes details about moccasins then and now, some additional facts about them, and information about how they have been made over time.

Jenn Moudahi is a Métis author, clinical counselor, and mom. Stories are a common thread in her life--she writes them as an author, listens to them as a counselor, escapes into them as a reader, and allows too many at bedtime as a mom. Growing up, Jenn spent countless hours with her own mom learning to create Indigenous art, often helping to teach workshops throughout British Columbia. Jenn lives in Western Canada with her husband, two kids, and two purrfect cats. This is her first picture book.
