Description
In the 1930s two young brothers are sent to a government-run Indian residential school an experience shared by generations of Native American children. At these schools, children are forbidden to speak their native tongue and are taught to abandon their Indian ways. In this multi award-winning book, Native American artist Judith Lowry’s illustrations are inspired by the stories she heard from her father and uncle. The lyrical narrative and compelling paintings blend memory and myth in this bittersweet story of the boys’ journey home one summer and the healing power of their culture.

Beautiful illustrations and narrative of a true, and rarely told, story about Indian boarding schools. This book is a perfect, age appropriate telling of two young brothers that ends in a welcome return home. I especially recommend it to anyone teaching California history, or history of indigenous people in elementary school. It should be in every school library.
