Description

Bestselling memoir Fatty Legs for younger readers. Olemaun is eight and knows numerous things. But she does not understand how to read. Ignoring her father’s warnings, she travels far from her Arctic home to the outsiders’ school to be told. The nuns at the school call her Margaret. They bring to a halt her long hair and force her to do menial chores, but she remains undaunted. Her tenacity draws the attention of a black-cloaked nun who tries to break her spirit at each turn. But the young girl is more made up our minds than ever to learn to read. In line with the true story of Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, and complemented by stunning illustrations, When I Was once Eight makes the bestselling Fatty Legs accessible to younger readers. Now they, too, can meet this remarkable girl who reminds us what power we hold when we will be able to read.
