"By the end of this coming week, Canadian kids will flood out of their schools to enjoy the beauty of our too-short summer. If you're like me, that last day of school was the best day of the year. 

Not all children are as lucky as Canadian kids. The past week brought some terrible images and stories of young people in distress.

The Conversation global network was quick to bring together some thoughtful analyses about the impact of children who are separated from their families. But we also told some happier stories, like the abundance of math talent among Indigenous children. "
