Fatty Legs

Fatty Legs
Written by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Pokiak-Fenton; Illustrated by Liz Amini-Holmes

On a trip to Aklavik with her father, Margaret is mesmerized by the dark-cloaked nuns and the pale-skinned priests. She knows they hold the key to the greatest of the outsiders’ mysteries — reading. Even though her father warns her that her spirit will be worn down and made small, she begs to attend the school. At the hands of a cruel and heartless nun, Margaret suffers humiliation, but emerges with her spirit intact.
