Shi-shi-etko just has four days until she will have to leave her family and everything she knows to attend residential school. She spends her last precious days at home treasuring and appreciating the beauty of her world -- the dancing sunlight, the tall grass, each shiny rock, the tadpoles in the creek, her grandfather's paddle song. Her mother, father, and grandmother, each in turn, share valuable teachings that they want her to remember. Shi-shi-etko carefully gathers her memories for safekeeping. LaFave's richly hued illustrations complement Campbell's gently moving and poetic account of a child who finds solace around her, even though she is on the verge of great loss -- a loss that native people have endured for generations because of Canada's residential schools system.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great little budget tote
Color: Black, Color: Black
I use this as my everyday bag (with an organizer inside) and it's the best little bag I've ever had. It's sturdy but soft, the strap is easily adjustable to a bunch of different lengths, and it's roomy enough in the inside for average everyday needs plus the occasional extras! The material is thick enough to be good quality, but not overly inflexibly thick. I also covered mine in pinback buttons and enamel pins, and the fabric is really good for pins - They go on firmly and don't slide around. I saw a lot of complaints about smell, but mine had no bad smell at all!

Decent bag
Color: Light Grey, Color: Light Grey
2.5 year update: I'm ready to replace my beloved grey bag, but most of the colors more than doubled in price!! I get that there's inflation, but that's insanity. It was $10.99 when I bought in 2019. Forget this brand. Dropped a star.

Original review:
In the photo, that's a 32oz Nalgene bottle and a small, Periea Chelsy organizer (found on Amazon, 8.5 inches long). 9 months of near daily use so far, no issues! I even got oil and ink stains on it, and they came right out.
Great runaround bag, not too big not too small. Love it. First things I did, removed the label and coated it in Kiwi Protect All spray.
Pros:
- 2 pockets inside are deep and sooo useful
- very cute
- comfortable and very light to carry
- adjustable strap length, for shoulder or crossbody
- price is right
- machine washable
Cons:
- zipper is a bit "sticky"
- words on the label are classic Chinese-English, reminds me of Taiwan. Lol
- no inside lining
- fabric could be thicker. It's thin for canvas.
- metal hardware is not stainless steel
Neutral:
- medium size (model must be child size, pay attention to dimensions. I'd say it's similar to standard disposable grocery bag size, cept taller)
- durability is questionable. It's not going to come apart if you look at it wrong, but I definitely wouldn't try using this as a bookbag either. For the price, it seems sturdy enough.
When this bag dies, I will 100% be buying another one if it's still available. Love it.

Great value for amazing bag
Color: Pink
Great deal on this tote bag, the strap length is extremely adjustable for size and different wearability. It has good storage space and no pockets inside but works well. It looks great with different colors I have the pink and my boyfriend has the coffee one which looks amazing. I added pins to mine and looks great! Love this bag

I love my bag.
Color: Leopard White, Color: Leopard White
love the design, i barely put anything in it tho because it weighs the bag down even though it’s a nice size. out of the package looks like it hasn’t been sown properly thru, pieces of the fabric sticking out. (loose thread) you get what u pay for but still pretty.
Update, Maybe i underestimated my baby love, she fighting the greatest fight! Still love my baby! I would buy another! i want the whole collectionnnnn!
