KIRKUS REVIEW
A marvelous sequel to Loyie's picture book memoir, As Long as the Rivers Flow but with an older audience in mind - Loyie not only movingly evokes the trauma of the Residential Schools on the children shows how the losses of language, culture and traditions affect family interactions as well AND how little prepared these children were by the second-rate "education" the schools provided. It is a moving and poignant book that needs to be shared!

I suppose the people that worked at those schools thought they were doing good work, but we now look back on it with horror. How can people actually bully the children they are trusted to care for? Aug 03, Dani rated it liked it Shelves: I learned a lot about residential schools from this story, but the actual plot wasn't overly exciting or engaging.
