The Girl with a Baby
Author: Sylvia Olsen
Publisher: Turtleback
ISBN: 9780606325851
Category : Indian teenagers
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
Jane has always been the good Williams. Her brothers might be highschool dropouts and rowdy late-night partiers, but not Jane. Jane never drinks, smokes dope or misses a single day of school. She's in the drama club, gets top marks, and is one of the popular kids. Or she used to be. Now she's one of those: the teenage mothers packing diaper bags, wheeling strollers into the highschool daycare. Jane is only fourteen, and she can feel the stares in the school hallway. She can hear the whispers on her whitebread street, too: Too bad. Gone the way of her brothers. Guess those Indians are all the same. Jane isn't what she used to be--but then, maybe she's more. When the baby was born, Jane's grandmother told her she came from a long line of strong mothers, and Jane is discovering it's true. Because of baby Destiny, Jane dares to demand the best, not just of herself, but of her whole family. This Jane accepts the consequences of her decisions, good and bad, and pushes through prejudices the former Jane just tiptoed around. This Jane is a strong link in something bigger than herself. She's a girl with a baby, two feet on the ground, one hand in the warm grasp of her Indian past, and the other holding firmly to the future.

Shi-shi-etko
Author: Nicola I. Campbell
Publisher: Groundwood Books Ltd
ISBN: 1554982332
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 19
Book Description
Winner of the Anskohk Aboriginal Children's Book of the Year Award. Finalist for the TD Canadian Children's Literature Award, the Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award and the Ruth Schwartz Award In just four days young Shi-shi-etko will have to leave her family and all that she knows to attend residential school. She spends her last days at home treasuring the beauty of her world -- the dancing sunlight, the tall grass, each shiny rock, the tadpoles in the creek, her grandfather's paddle song. Her mother, father and grandmother, each in turn, share valuable teachings that they want her to remember. And so Shi-shi-etko carefully gathers her memories for safekeeping. Richly hued illustrations complement this gently moving and poetic account of a child who finds solace all around her, even though she is on the verge of great loss -- a loss that native people have endured for generations because of the residential schools system.
