Winner of the TD Canadian Children's Literature Award and finalist
for the Governor General's Award: Children's Illustration This
moving sequel to the award-winning Shi-shi-etko tells the story of
two children's experience at residential school. Shi-shi-etko is
about to return for her second year, but this time her six-year-old
brother, Shin-chi, is going, too. As they begin their journey in
the back of a cattle truck, Shi-shi-etko tells her brother all the
things he must remember: the trees, the mountains, the rivers and
the salmon. Shin-chi knows he won't see his family again until the
sockeye salmon return in the summertime. When they arrive at
school, Shi-shi-etko gives him a tiny cedar canoe, a gift from
their father. The children's time is filled with going to mass,
school for half the day, and work the other half. The girls cook,
clean and sew, while the boys work in the fields, in the woodshop
and at the forge. Shin-chi is forever hungry and lonely, but,
finally, the salmon swim up the river and the children return home
for a joyful family reunion.

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
