Cover title.

Sapo Miskîsik,wa Ohci Atim: Through the Eyes of a Dog is told from the perspective of a dog named Atim. Atim is a Cree Michif word that translates to “dog.” The story takes place on Atim’s way home from a walk. During this journey, Atim encounters many different people who have different hairstyles, body types, and relationship dynamics as well as varying races, ages, and genders. When Atim meets each of these characters, he treats them all with a kind regard and does not judge their differences. This book is meant to portray the world through the eyes of a dog, thus teaching the reader to view everyone equally and concludes by asking “how different would the world be?” if we modelled this empathetic outlook.
