(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gabrielle Grimard. A girl tries to help her grandfather after she asks him what the Cree word for grandfather is; he says Cree was stolen from him as a child at boarding school. Despite its too-simple resolution, the story, illustrated with soft, pleasing art, could serve as an emotional introduction to the topic of Indian boarding schools.
