By Press Staff | Date: March 02, 2022

When We Were Alone and This Place: 150 Years Retold were among twenty-five top sellers from Canadian-owned publishers in 2021. The data for this list was collected from 234 independent bookstores from February 1, 2021, to January 31, 2022.

A Governor General's Award-winning title by David A. Robertson, When We Were Alone is an empowering story of resistance that gently introduces children to the history of residential schools in Canada. Ispík kákí péyakoyak/When We Were Alone includes the text in Swampy Cree syllabics and Roman orthography, as well as the original English.

In the graphic novel This Place: 150 Years Retold, Indigenous writers explore the untold stories of the past, present, and future in what is now Canada. Now a CBC podcast.
