This certainly is timely.
Wanted to love this, just didn't. The writing is very, very loose. Characters are introduced and never revisited. This a very quick read and does introduce a young reader to some valuable concepts like pre-Columbian America and Indian Schools.
hm I thought this would shine in audiobook but it didn't totally click for me–I understand the desire for the author to read their own book but since the protagonist is a girl, a female reader might have been better IMO?
That aside, it's wild that there are already books set during COVID and I think this is one that can both universally help a lot of kids process the trauma and weirdness of early lockdown while also specifically sharing Wabanaki stories. Plus: dogs! Lots to like.
