This is a beautiful book that is very hard to read (I think I went through a fair portion of a tissue box).

I love that it breaks up Buffalo Dreamer's story and the horror and trauma of the residential schools with Summer's joyful experiences.

I highly recommend reading the book along with the the audio book. I love hearing the Cree words while being able to see what the word looks like and also see the small pictures that begin the chapters.
