Quand on était seuls / David Alexander Robertson.
Finalist TD Award / 2017 Governor General's Literary Award Recipient for the English version When we Were Alone. By helping her grandmother to maintain her garden, a young girl notices characteristics that pique her curiosity. Why does her grandmother wear long braids and brightly colored clothes? Why does she speak another language and spend so much time with her family? These questions lead the elder to talk about the years she spent as a child in an aboriginal boarding school, where everything had been taken away from her. When we were alone tells a difficult time and is ultimately a testimony of courage and self-help.
