Synopsis

I have come from somewhere else, where
I am Cree and I have a big sister
and another name.

    One night, a very young girl was removed from her home during Canada’s Sixties Scoop, which tore children from their Indigenous communities.  She woke in a new home, with a new family and a new name—her former life fading to a ghost of a memory.  The only place she ever felt like she fit in was with her grandmother—her Bubbe—who listened to her and made her chicken soup and wrapped her in her loving arms.  Until one day…the girl discovered the truth. And her beloved Bubbe helped her on her journey to claim her identity, her voice—and her name.
     Together, Na'kuset and Judith Henderson tell the powerful story of the Indigenous experience for a child during the Sixities Scoop. Cree illustrator Onedove shared how inspired they are by Na'kuset's story and activism, and that is made evident in the tender and vivid illustrations that bring Na'kuset's story to life.

À propos de l'auteur

Na'kuset is a Cree Indigenous activist, living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Nakuset is a survivor of the Sixties Scoop, when Canadian government policy led to many Indigenous children being forcibly adopted into non-Indigenous families. She is the subject of an award-winning short film, Becoming Nakuset (2020), about her experiences and is the winner of the 2022 Woman of Distinction Award. This is her debut picture book.

Judith Henderson is the author of numerous picture books, as well as being an illustrator, composer and children's TV producer. She wrote the theme song for the Emmy Award winning PBS show Arthur.

Onedove is an illustrator and designer whose work is inspired by classic illustration and animation from the fifties and sixties, and has appeared in galleries from Vancouver to New York. This is their first children's book!
