Dad, I Miss You, written by Nadia Sammurtok and illustrated by Simji Park, has been featured on the Books for Young People – Middle Grade & Graphic Novels list.
“Told in the voice of a boy and his father, this heartbreaking story chronicles the emotional toll of a child being taken from his family to attend a residential school. From the boy’s fear and loss to the father’s sadness and hope, Dad, I Miss You gives voice to the trauma of forcible separation.”
