Slipperjack, Ruby. Dear Canada: These Are My Words: The Residential School Diary of Violet Pesheens. Toronto: Scholastic, 2016. Print. The book I chose to review is "Dear Canada, These Are My Words". It is the story about an Aboriginal girl named Violet Pesheens and her experience going to a residential school. Violet writes about events that happened to her while she went to a residential school, such as the cutting of her hair, changing her clothes and being given a number (75) which was how she was identified. I would recommend to all ages if you like non fiction books and because it's a very interesting. I would rate this book five stars. Highly recommended: 5 out of 5 stars Reviewer: ShantiTansi, my name is Shanti and I only like to read books that connect to me. My favorite types of books are Dear Canada and Geronimo Stilton. I am also a fancy dancer and a Plains Cree speaker.
