Description
A beautifully illustrated book that gently explores the complicated feelings a young girl experiences as she learns about tragedy and injustice.
Miya loves her school and she especially loves storytime. One day, her teacher shares a story about a little girl who was taken away to a residential school. The little girl wasn't allowed to go home. Her hair was cut and she wasn't allowed to keep her favourite doll. She was taken away from her family because she was Indigenous, just like Miya!
Miya worries the same thing will happen to her. Her mom tells her that Indigenous girls and boys aren't forced to leave their families anymore. Miya is relieved, but she is still sad. What can she do about these feelings?
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
The book showcases healthy coping strategies and ends with a call to action... This message shines brightest in the text. A solid choice for schools and libraries seeking a tie-in to programs on residential schools or the national Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
