I Am Not a Number/ Gaawin Gindaawsin Ndaawsii by Jenny Kay Dupuis, Muriel Sawyer, Geraldine McLeod, Kathy Kacer, Gillian Newland

challenging emotional informative sad fast-paced

4.0

 A heartbreaking story about the author's grandmother, Irene Couchie, and her brothers' experiences in a Canadian Residential School. This book is short, but packs an emotional punch. It's horrifying what these children were made to endure in the name of Colonization and prejudices against their culture. This history should be more widely taught so that it isn't repeated nor used inappropriately.
