Blanket of Butterflies, A
This beautifully illustrated, easy to read, and action-packed graphic novel follows the adventures of Shinobu, who is searching for his family’s missing samurai sword and armour in Fort Smith, NWT. He must deal with encounters with local thugs, and following a vicious attack, young Sonny and his grandmother, members of the local Aboriginal community, help Shinobu recover and retrieve the sword using peace and reconciliation rather than violence.
