<p><em>My Ten Painted Nails </em>is a colourful board book that incorporates number and colour learning alongside simple Inuktitut syllabics and English text. Ideal for young children and early readers, this book offers engaging illustrations that are perfect for expanding oral vocabulary and include some imagery from Arctic life. The predictable Inuktitut and English sentence structure allows emergent readers to begin to make the important connection between writing and the spoken word, enabling them to take their first steps toward bilingual reading independence. Suitable for early childhood and K–1 settings for learning about Inuktitut language, numbers to ten, colours, and emergent reading.</p>
