Description
"A fiction picture book about residential schools. Author Jodie Callaghan worked as a journalist at the time of the Canadian government's apology for the residential school system. She took inspiration for this book from her conversations with survivors--including her own grandmother's experience at Indian day school, and memories shared with her by a man she interviewed by the train tracks that transported children to residential school in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia. Jodie's story for The Train was first recognized as the winner of the Mi'gmaq Writer's Award in 2009, a contest organized by the Mi'gmawei Mawiomi Secretariat to encourage and develop Mi'gmaq storytellers."--Provided by publisher.
Description
"'I'm waiting for what we lost that day to come back to us.' Ashley meets her great-uncle by the old train tracks near their community. Uncle tells Ashley the story of the day, many years ago, when he and other children in their community were taken away on the train to a residential school, and how their lives changed forever. They weren't allowed to speak Mi'gmaq, and there was no one to give them love and hugs and comfort. Ashley holds her uncle's hand as they sit together by the train tracks. 'Don't worry, Uncle. I will wait with you.'"--Book jacket.
