"A moving picture book highlighting a young Muslim boy's efforts to rediscover his family's history in the World Wars. Muhammad wants to take part in his school's assembly to honor veterans, but no one in his community, let alone his family, has been involved in the World Wars... have they? After discussions with his family and elders at his mosque, Muhammad starts to piece together his family's lost history, and realizes that you don't need a trophy or medal to remember those you've lost-it can be as simple as sharing a piece of roti.

From the acclaimed author of Funny, You Don't Look Autistic, a picture book debut about two very different brothers and a connection that goes beyond words.For Michael and Mattie, growing up together includes all of the usual sibling stuff-riding the school bus for the first time, squabbling over the remote control, and learning to stand up for themselves. But the older they get, the more their paths start to diverge. Despite both being autistic, their experiences of life on the spectrum are very different. Things that delight Mattie disgust or frustrate Michael (and vice versa!), often to comedic effect, and what feels easy to one brother might be nearly impossible for the other. Still, there's always something to bring them back together-even if it takes a while for them to get there.Written with both humor and heart as a tribute to his brother, Michael McCreary offers an intimate first-person account of a bond that is both universal and unique. Tallulah Dumont brings the spirit of the story to life through heightened body language and facial expressions inspired by the illustrations of Michael Martchenko.

Written from a child's perspective, Anxious pairs evocative art with simple text to illustrate some of the ways anxiousness can be experienced, providing an empathetic and compassionate framework for helping readers understand this feeling. A note to readers adds context and explains in more detail what anxiousness can look like, provides suggestions for coping skills, and resources for professional help"--

A young girl discovers nature’s surprising beauty in this tale from a renowned Inuit storyteller. When Aggataa goes for a cold winter walk with her grandmother, she’s surprised by a sudden CRAH! All the birds have flown south for the winter except one kind—the tulugarguat, the ravens. They’re the ugliest birds that Aggaataa has ever seen. They look like they slept in their coats—coats that don’t even fit! However, as the winter slowly moves towards spring, Aggataa connects with one small raven in particular. As the seasons change in full, the ravens leave and are replaced by seagulls, cranes, geese, ducks, and swans—all of them far more elegant than the “Ugly Bird.” But where Aggataa once thought the ravens odd for visiting during the harshest part of the year, she now finds herself watching the horizon, waiting for the return of the most amazing bird. This touching story by award-winning author Michael Arvaarluk Kusugak reminds us of our lasting connection to nature, while art by celebrated illustrator Andrew Qappik, CM, illuminates the enduring magic of the changing seasons.
