| | Synopsis
|
Olemaun is eight and knows a lot of things. But she does not know how
to read. Ignoring her father's warnings, she travels far from her
Arctic home to the outsiders' school to learn.
The nuns at the school call her Margaret. They cut off her long hair
and force her to do menial chores, but she remains undaunted. Her
tenacity draws the attention of a black-cloaked nun who tries to break
her spirit at every turn. But the young girl is more determined than
ever to learn how to read.
Based on the true story of Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, and complemented by
stunning illustrations, When I Was Eight makes the bestselling Fatty
Legs accessible to younger readers. Now they, too, can meet this
remarkable girl who reminds us what power we hold when we can read.
