Kerri Berry Lynn
by Sonya Ballantyne


Kerri Berry Lynn is a little Cree girl from Misipawistik and she has always wanted a big family. Her dog-obsessed Chapan gives her 7 dogs named Peyak, Nîso, Nisto, Nêwo, Niyanan, Nikotwâsik, and Têpakohp. When a mean dog threatens her, Kerri Berry Lynn and her family come together and discover the mean dog needs some love.


Sonya Ballantyne is a Cree filmmaker, writer, and public speaker originally from Misipawistik Cree Nation in Manitoba. Her first film Crash Site has played in festivals internationally and she has spoken at such events as TedXWinnipeg, We Day Manitoba, and San Diego Comic Con. As a young girl, she did not see media that included girls that looked like her and it inspired her to get into a creative field. Kerri Berry Lynn is her first book based on her dog-obsessed baby sister Kerri and Chapan (Great-Grandmother) Ellen.
