:
An adaptation of the bestselling biography "Fatty Legs: A True Story", for beginning readers! Olemaun is eight years old and she knows a lot. But she can't read. Ignoring her father's warnings, she makes a long trip to attend the foreigners' school. At the boarding school, the nuns took her name away from her. They shave her hair and force her to do household chores, but Olemaun remains unfazed. Her tenacity attracts the attention of a nun in a long black dress, who tries to break her spirit at the slightest opportunity. But Olemaun is more determined than ever to learn to read.
