• This is Mangeshig's (formerly known as Joshua) debut as an author, though he has illustrated several Groundwood picture books, including Mii maanda ezhi-gkendmaanh / This Is How I Know and Mnoomin maan'gowing / The Gift of Mnoomin, both written by Brittany Luby.
• Mangeshig's signature woodland style is used here to great effect, implementing blocky shapes and primary colours that appeal to a young audience. His illustrations for this book were first created for his infant daughter!
• Written in both Engish and Anishinaabemowin, Boozhoo! / Hello! contributes to the growing body of First Nations children's literature and supports the revitalization of the Anishinaabemowin language.
• The simple text is a perfect read-aloud for parents of young children, and for readers of any age wishing to practice speaking Anishinaabemowin.
