This is a beautiful, gentle, sad and yet hopeful book about a very difficult subject. It will make an excellent conversation starter for older kids who are either studying the era of residential schools for indigenous people or are just curious like the grandchild in the book. It's a time not that far in the past and one that isn't easy to talk about. Social injustice is never easy to talk about but "When We Were Alone" is the perfect way to introduce the topic with younger kids.
