Title: Picking up the Pieces
Description: "This nonfiction book, illustrated with photographs, tells the story of the making of the Witness Blanket, a work by Indigenous artist Carey Newman that includes hundreds of items from every Residential School in Canada and stories from the Survivors who donated them."--

Newman, a master carver and sculptor turned storyteller, takes us behind the scenes of his multi-panelled, three-dimensional traveling art installation that tells the story of Canada's residential school story. Along with co-writer Hudson, Newman teaches readers about the items, and how they relate to the residential schools in every province and territory. -- Adapted from jacket.
