Winner of the Anskohk Aboriginal Children's Book of the Year Award.
Finalist for the TD Canadian Children's Literature Award, the
Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award and the Ruth Schwartz Award In
just four days young Shi-shi-etko will have to leave her family and
all that she knows to attend residential school. She spends her
last days at home treasuring the beauty of her world -- the dancing
sunlight, the tall grass, each shiny rock, the tadpoles in the
creek, her grandfather's paddle song. Her mother, father and
grandmother, each in turn, share valuable teachings that they want
her to remember. And so Shi-shi-etko carefully gathers her memories
for safekeeping. Richly hued illustrations complement this gently
moving and poetic account of a child who finds solace all around
her, even though she is on the verge of great loss -- a loss that
Indigenous Peoples have endured for generations because of the
residential schools system. Correlates to the Common Core State
Standards in English Language Arts: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.1 With
prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details
in a text. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3 Describe characters, settings,
and major events in a story, using key details.
