Short, but with a short intro and author's note that add a lot to it.

Approachable and informative, with a good balance of information for the youthful intended audience. Even as someone who has read other accounts involving the schools, though not as many as I should, I even learned more regarding the functionality and processes adopted by them as an adult. Wonderful contribution to the children's book world to gently ease kids into both history, non-fiction, and the stories of other children.

This is a memoir and I never feel comfortable giving a rating for someone’s experience, especially one from residential school. I have never read a teaching/story from an Inuvialuk’s perspective before who comes from Tuktoyaktuk. Thank you for your story.
