Description

This is the story of the beautiful relationship between a little girl and her grandfather. When she asks her grandfather how to say something in his language, Cree, he admits that his language was stolen from him when he was a boy.

The story recognizes the pain of those whose culture and language were taken from them, how that pain is passed down and how healing can also be shared.

Dual-language edition in English and Cree.
