Shi-shi-etko

The story of a young Indigenous girl who is preparing to go to her residential school for the first time. She explores with her family, father, mother, and grandmother, to attempt to not forget her land, language, and culture while she is away. The tone is somber and the story is very poignant, knowing what likely awaits her when she arrives at her school. The sadness of the story is juxtaposed and complemented by warm, simple illustrations.
