Quand on était seuls can help introduce the delicate subject of residential schools to young ones. This is the story about a curious little girl who spots some different and special things about her grandmother: her long braided hair; her brightly coloured clothing; the fact that she spends a lot of time with her family; and that she speaks Cree, a language that is different from hers.
Quand on était seuls is the story about how one woman had the power to cope with a trying period in her past.
