Shin-chi's Canoe

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kim LaFave. Both Shi-Shi-etko and her little brother, Shin-chi, must go to the Indian residential school. Shin-chi keeps the small cedar canoe his father made tucked away, just like everything else Native about him, until they go home. The fuzzy art could have benefited from a lighter digital touch but it effectively conveys the sadness of the story.
