Dupuis, Jenny Kay (author.). Kacer, Kathy, 1954- (author.). Newland, Gillian, (illustrator.).

Summary: "A picture book based on a true story about a young First Nations girl who was sent to a residential school. When eight-year-old Irene is removed from her First Nations family to live in a residential school she is confused, frightened, and terribly homesick. She tries to remember who she is and where she came from despite the efforts of the nuns to force her to do otherwise.
