Description
When I Was Eight tells the remarkable true story of a young girl's determination to learn. In 1920s Canada, eight-year-old Margaret Pokiak-Fenton travels far from her Arctic home to an outsider's school, where she faces challenges and hardships. Despite being forced to cut her long hair and perform menial chores, Margaret remains undaunted in her quest to learn how to read.
The nuns at the school try to break her spirit, but Margaret's tenacity draws attention from a black-cloaked nun who tries to undermine her efforts. This powerful story of resilience and determination is based on the true experiences of Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, complemented by stunning illustrations.
