{"product_id":"sweetgrass-basket-9780525475477","title":"Sweetgrass Basket","description":"In prose poetry and alternating voices, Marlene Carvell weaves a heartbreakingly beautiful story based on the real-life experiences of Native American children. Mattie and Sarah are two Mohawk sisters who are sent to an off-reservation school after the death of their mother. Subject to intimidation and corporal punishment, with little hope of contact with their father, the girls are taught menial tasks to prepare them for life as domestics. How Mattie and Sarah protect their culture, memories of their family life, and their love for each other makes for a powerful, unforgettable historical novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dutton Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525475477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.88w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Addams Children's Book Award - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Jefferson Cup - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2005 pg. 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2005 pg. 910\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2005 pg. 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 223 - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2006 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 68 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e102732 \/ Sweetgrass Basket\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marlene Carvell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43180572016821,"sku":"9780525475477","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c526fb42-f354-472d-8994-f2c140082c57.jpg?v=1697516128","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sweetgrass-basket-9780525475477","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
