• 3 stele, bazat pe 1 voturi

• 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 -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.
• Shi-shi-etko carefully gathers her memories for safekeeping.
• LaFave's richly hued illustrations complement Campbell's gently moving and poetic account of a child who finds solace around her, even though she is on the verge of great loss -a loss that native people have endured for generations because of Canada's residential schools system.
• 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.
