À propos de cet audio
Best-selling memoir Fatty Legs for younger listeners.
Olemaun is eight and knows a lot of things. But she does not know how to read. Ignoring her father’s warnings, she travels far from her Arctic home to the outsiders’ school to learn.
The nuns at the school call her Margaret. They cut off her long hair and force her to do menial chores, but she remains undaunted. Her tenacity draws the attention of a black-cloaked nun who tries to break her spirit at every turn. But the young girl is more determined than ever to learn how to read.
Based on the true story of Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, When I Was Eight makes the best-selling Fatty Legs accessible to younger listeners. Now they, too, can meet this remarkable girl who reminds us what power we hold when we can read.
