Shi-shi-etko just has four days until she will have to leave her family and everything she knows to attend residential school. She spends her last precious days at home treasuring and appreciating the beauty of her world Ñ the dancing sunlight, the tall grass, each shiny rock, the tadpoles in the creek, her grandfatherÕs paddle song. Her mother, father, and grandmother, each in turn, share valuable teachings that they want her to remember. Shi-shi-etko carefully gathers her memories for safekeeping.
LaFaveÕs richly hued illustrations complement CampbellÕs gently moving and poetic account of a child who finds solace around her, even though she is on the verge of great loss Ñ a loss that native people have endured for generations because of CanadaÕs residential schools system.
