When We Were Alone
As a young girl asks her grandmother questions, she is told about life in a residential school a long time ago where many things were taken away. This picture book shares how the power of love strengthened two siblings who lived in a residential school.
When a young girl helps tend to her grandmother's garden, she begins to notice things that make her curious. Why does her grandmother have long braided hair and beautifully colored clothing? Why does she speak another language and spend so much time with her family? As she asks her grandmother about these things, she is told about life in a residential school a long time ago where all of these things were taken away. When We Were Alone is a story about a difficult time in history and, ultimately, one of empowerment and strength.
