Coming Back Home (Paperback)

Paperback. Coming Back Home is a heartfelt story about friendship, culture, and the power of community. When Jimmy meets Ali, the new girl at school, he quickly learns that her family's story is marked by loss, resilience, and the hope of reunion. Ali's sister was taken into foster care years ago, and her family has been searching for her ever since. Together with his friends, Jimmy helps Ali reconnect with her culture, traditions, and language while also learning about the laws and rights that protect Indigenous children and families. Guided by their community and Elders, the children uncover pathways to bring Ali's sister home. This story weaves together themes of the Sixties Scoop, Indigenous rights, and the importance of identity and belonging. With warmth and courage, it shows how youth voices can spark change, strengthen culture, and inspire future generations of leaders. Coming Back Home celebrates resilience, healing, and the strength of Nisga'a traditions while reminding us that every child has the right to family, culture, and home. This item is printed on demand.
