Description

Starting within the 1800s and continuing into the 20 th century, First Nations children were forcibly taken to government-sponsored residential schools to erase their traditional languages and cultures. This moving book tells of 1 such child, creator Larry Loyie, and his last summer along with his Cree tribe. This is a time of learning and adventure. He cares for an abandoned baby owl, watches his grandmother make winter moccasins, and sees her kill an enormous grizzly with one shot. The sensitive text and Heather Holmlund’s expressive illustrations beautifully capture the enjoyment and drama of a First Nations circle of relatives’s last summer in combination.
