SuitabookMoi, ma valise a beaucoup voyagé--
Béatrice M. Richet
- Reading
- Read together and pause at the highlighted place names: invite your child to locate or say each one, then let them lead any conversation about the family relationships.
- Themes
- Migration and travel: The grandfather emigrates from Europe to Nova Scotia in 1929, meets his wife in Montreal, works in several provinces and eventually settles in British Columbia. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Adoption and family history: An adopted girl narrates the story of her grandparents’ travels. Adoption connects the narrator to the family history, but the book’s view of adoption is not established by the available details.
- Worth knowing
- Adoption and emigration are part of the family story. Their emotional significance, and how much detail the book gives about separation or adjustment, remain unclear.
