Shi-shi-etko
$14.95L’histoire ici racontée est celle d’une fillette autochtone nommée Shi-shi-etko, ce qui signifie « qui aime jouer dans l’eau ». Le peuple de Shi-shi-etko a toujours vécu en Amérique du Nord, vivant de la chasse, de la pêche et de cueillette, ramassant des plantes médicinales, confectionnant lui-même ses vêtements, fabriquant ses habitations, établissant ses propres règles, prenant soin de ses territoires traditionnels, racontant des histoires, chantant et dansant. Les enfants autochtones étaient l’objet de tant d’amour qu’ils étaient élevés ensemble par toute la communauté : parents, grands-parents, tantes, oncles, cousins et aînés.Voilà que Shi-shi-etko doit aller au pensionnat indien : la loi l’exige. Une fois là-bas, elle ne verra plus ses parents pendant plusieurs mois ou même plusieurs années, elle perdra son nom traditionnel, et elle sera obligée de parler en anglais, langue qu’elle ne connaît pas. Pendant longtemps, le gouvernement du Canada a estimé que les Autochtones étaient des peuples non civilisés et adopté des lois forçant les enfants autochtones à vivre dans des pensionnats pour y apprendre la culture et la religion européennes. Des enfants d’à peine quatre ans y ont été envoyés, même si la plupart du temps ils y entraient entre cinq et six ans. Les parents qui refusaient d’obtempérer étaient incarcérés. Peut-on imaginer une communauté sans enfants? Des enfants sans parents?Les peuples autochtones subissent encore de nos jours les effets négatifs du système de pensionnats. On dit qu’il faudra à notre peuple sept générations pour en guérir. -

Six Dots: A Story of Young Louis Braille
$25.99An inspiring picture-book biography of Louis Braille—a blind boy so determined to read that he invented his own alphabet. **Winner of a Schneider Family Book Award!** Louis Braille was just five years old when he lost his sight. He was a clever boy, determined to live like everyone else, and what he wanted more than anything was to be able to read. Even at the school for the blind in Paris, there were no books for him. And so he invented his own alphabet—a whole new system for writing that could be read by touch. A system so ingenious that it is still used by the blind community today. Award-winning writer Jen Bryant tells Braille’s inspiring story with a lively and accessible text, filled with the sounds, the smells, and the touch of Louis’s world. Boris Kulikov’s inspired paintings help readers to understand what Louis lost, and what he was determined to gain back through books. An author’s note and additional resources at the end of the book complement the simple story and offer more information for parents and teachers. Praise for Six Dots: "An inspiring look at a child inventor whose drive and intelligence changed to world—for the blind and sighted alike."—Kirkus Reviews "Even in a crowded field, Bryant’s tightly focused work, cast in the fictionalized voice of Braille himself, is particularly distinguished."—Bulletin, starred review "This picture book biography strikes a perfect balance between the seriousness of Braille’s life and the exuberance he projected out into the world." — School Library Journal, starred review
