I am not a number / written by Jenny Kay Dupuis and Kathy Kacer ; illustrated by Gillian Newland.
Removed from her family to live in a residential school when she was eight years old, Irene Couchie Dupuis, an Anishinabe girl, was confused, frightened, and homesick, but did her best to remember who she is and where she came from despite the efforts of the nuns to force her to do otherwise. Based on a true story about the author's grandmother.
