(4) K-3 Illustrated by Danielle Daniel. "You hold me up when you comfort me / when you listen to me / when you respect me." With only a handful of such sentences describing supportive behavior, there's not much for readers to sink their teeth into until an appended note ties the book to the history and impact of Canada's Indian boarding schools. Daniel's warm illustrations help to expand the brief text.
