While there, deprived of food, the girls were creative and sewed pockets into their clothes to sneak food. Teachers, this should absolutely be added to your library - and make sure you read the author's note. I teared up to find out that UFV now sews a secret pocket into the stole of the graduation gowns of the Indigenous graduates, and puts Mary's story in there. Published by @orcabook, I borrowed this book from the library. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
