The Blanket is a living work of art--a collection of hundreds of objects from those schools. It includes everything from photos, bricks, hockey skates, graduation certificates, dolls and piano keys to braids of hair. Behind every piece is a story. And behind every story is a residential school Survivor, including Carey's father. This book is a collection of truths about what happened at those schools, but it's also a beacon of hope and a step on the journey toward reconciliation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe epub edition of this title is fully accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carey Newman, Kirstie Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orca Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 7.70w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781459836129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12","brand":"Orca Book Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42506030383257,"sku":"9781459836129","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3367\/0297\/files\/img_3a1cffac-cbca-4dec-ba29-47f91b8b18f6.jpg?v=1724518115","url":"https:\/\/bookmarksretail.store\/products\/the-witness-blanket-truth-art-and-reconciliation","provider":"Bookmarks Retail","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
