When I checked on the LFL a few days later my book had been "checked out" so I hope whoever found it enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed Fatty Legs.įatty Legs was written by Margaret Pokiak-Fenton and her daughter-in-law Christy Jordan-Fenton. So I assuaged my guilt by replacing the book with a much-loved children's book of my own. I'd heard good reviews about the book but had never run across it. I'm hoping that the book was placed in the library after the students had studied it.Īnd I really wanted to read Fatty Legs. Pitts is a teacher at the school the school had done a good bit of learning about the Inuit people in the North. However I did a bit of investigation and discovered that while indeed Mr. Pitts to be a teacher at the school hoping to provide educational books to his students over the summertime and here I was robbing the kids of their opportunity to read this wonderful story about an eight year-old Inuvialuit girl's experience in residential school. The book had been donated to the library by Mr. So I felt a little bit guilty in filching Fatty Legs especially when I discovered the inscription on the inside cover. In fact there were more adult books than children's.
When I found the Little Free Library at Royal Oak School I expected it would be mostly if not wholly filled with children's books.
