This book follows the story of a young Ojibwe boy named Red Wolf who is ripped from his family and forced to attend a Canadian residential school for Indian children at the age of five. This is a heart-wrenching and important book that puts a human face on the suffering caused by Indian resettlement schools in both the United States and Canada.
It鈥檚 an outstanding educational tool, but educators considering it for younger grades should be aware that the book includes graphic scenes involving the abuse of animals and children as well as more subtle hints of child sexual abuse. (Ages 9 to 12)
