Description
A young Indigenous girl prepares to leave her community for school, carrying with her the stories, songs, and teachings that shape who she is. As she says goodbye to family and familiar places, she reflects on what she will miss and what she hopes to hold onto, even as the world ahead feels unfamiliar. Through lyrical, child-centered storytelling, the book explores belonging, identity, and the emotional weight of separation, while honoring language and cultural memory. Nicola I. Campbell’s gentle, evocative style brings a powerful sense of place and resilience to a story that resonates with readers of all ages.
