Muinji'j Asks Why is a children's picture book that tackles a difficult material in a bluntly honest but tactful way. After hearing conflicting information about Native residential schools at school, Muinji'j comes home to ask her grandparents to tell her the truth about residential schools. This is an important own voices book that needs to be in schools across the US and Canada.
