Young Ray struggles with balancing her new friends on the mainland
with the traditions of her people back home on the island in this
"compelling portrayal of a Native American family coexisting with
white society while retaining its own traditions" (Kirkus Reviews).
On Rayanne Sunipass's birthday, her father gives her a big box of
crayons to soften the blow that he is leaving their home on Two
Rivers Island in Maine. Struggling to adjust to the changes, Ray
and her mother pack up and move to Gram's small apartment on the
mainland. Suddenly, everything is different. Nobody at Ray's school
is like her and with her mother working long hours, Gram becomes
her only link to their native Wabanaki traditions. Without any idea
of if her father will return, Ray is lost and lonely, even as she
makes new friends on the mainland. But there is one thing she knows
for certain: someday she'll return to the island and to all the
familiar things she's left behind.
