A Sixties Scoop survival story picture book for kids 🧡
I’m very proud and honoured to have illustrated this amazing picture book! It is about the story of Cree activist Na'kuset's life as a young girl taken from her home along with thousands of other indigenous children during the 1960s, and the journey of discovery that leads her to reclaim her life and culture. She was taken from her home in the prairies and adopted by a family in Montreal when she was 3 yrs old. She was adult by the time she was reunited with her family. Her story is very personal to me as my mom, aunties, and uncles are Scoop survivors. I wanted to honour her story as best I could and I added many indigenous elements throughout the pages.
The book will be available Oct.15, 2025!
