Klune expressed that he wanted to write a story which explored positive effects of giving children a safe and supportive environment. As a result, many readers have expressed feeling like the novel is trivializing trauma experienced by indigenous children by romanticizing and profiting off of the history of residential schools.[1][2][3]
