Heart Berry Bling is a 2023 illustrated children’s book written by Jenny Kay Dupuis, illustrated by Eva Campbell, and published by Portage & Main Press. The story follows a young Anishinaabe girl named Maggie visiting her grandmother and learning about the culture of beadwork. Maggie, an eager pupil, decides to make a pair of strawberry earrings as her first project, and her grandmother guides her through this process. Granny describes the history of The Indian Act and the First Nations (Indigenous Peoples) as well as the importance of connecting to and remembering one’s identity. She tells her granddaughter how beadwork helped her persevere through being forced out of her home after losing her First Nations status by marrying someone without this status.[1][2]
Jenny Kay Dupuis is also known for writing I Am Not a Number, another work surrounding indigenous culture, specifically the Indian Act and the atrocities of residential schools.[3] As a part of the Nipissing First Nation, Dupuis writes her books about her own family’s experiences and history. She writes these works to provide true representation for indigenous children in literature, something she was not able to see as a child.[4][2]
The book won the CBC Favorites Award in 2023 and was commended for the Bookstagang Best of 2023 Picture Book Awards in 2023.[1]
