Dear Canada: These Are My Words: The Residential School Diary of Violet Pesheens by Ruby Slipperjack

4.0

This presented a less harsh picture of residential schools than I was expecting, but I think it is a great book for grades 4 to 8 to explore this topic in more depth. You get a good sense of some of the issues faced by children - losing their language and connection to culture, separation from their families, a disconnect from what they were learning in school.
