Canada
A poem by acclaimed Ojibway author Richard Wagamese is reimagined as a stunning picture book in the skilled hands of Anishinaabe artist Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley. Thoughtful, healing and hopeful, Canada is a testament to the transformative power of enduring identity and belonging. "Listen. Can you hear the voices of the Old Ones speaking to you in a language you've forgotten?" An Indigenous child struggles with a school assignment that asks, "What makes you proud to be Canadian?" To find the answer, they call on the strength of their ancestors. The ancestors' warm presence reminds them that we are in this together and we always have been -- "every soul that has fallen head over heels in love with the spell of this country." This powerful and timeless poem written by Richard Wagamese is seen through the eyes of an Indigenous child in the captivating illustrations by Anishinaabe artist Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley. As the poem speaks to a new generation of Indigenous children, it welcomes everyone to honor the past, find belonging here and now, and look toward the future in this place now called Canada.
The Blood of Eldervarn Mountains
A thousand years ago, Griselda cast a curse that tore Thornmere Valley apart. Tonight, beneath the rising Blood Moon, it awakens again.In the land of Eldervarn-where forests whisper, mountains brood, and the past refuses to stay buried-two children are about to face a destiny older than their own blood. The Hollowing Reckoning shattered the world centuries ago, leaving behind scars in the soil, in the sky, and in the hearts of those who survived. Now, as the month of Ashentide returns, the valley grows restless.Thornmere Valley has always been a place of silence and secrets. Doors bolt early. Candles burn late. Charms hang from windows as the wind carries whispers of names long dead. The residents pretend the past is gone, but the land remembers. It always remembers.On the eve of their thirteenth birthday, William and Scarlett begin to feel something stirring inside them-something ancient, something wrong. Their blood tightens. Their breath falters. Their dreams twist into visions of fire, screams, and a forest that watches them with hungry patience.When the Blood Moon rises, the valley's silence breaks.Drawn by a force they cannot resist, William and Scarlett are pulled deep into Thornmere Valley Forest, where a hidden cottage waits behind a shimmering blue barrier. Inside lives Griselda, the witch whose curse once drowned the valley in terror. Her eyes glow with ancient power. Her voice bends the air. And her hatred has survived a thousand years.As the moon turns red, Griselda reveals the truth: The curse lives inside them.Bound by ancestry. Awakened by fate.And now, it demands transformation.Shadows swallow the cottage as green fire erupts. William's skin pales, his blood darkens, and his eyes burn crimson as he becomes something feared by all. Scarlett's bones twist, her senses sharpen, and a growl rises from deep within as she transforms under the moon's command. Two children. Two monsters. One curse that will not let them go.To understand what they have become, the story returns to the year 250 HR-the day Griselda first arrived in Thornmere Valley as an innocent child. Her family, the Rowans, came as healers bringing hope. But fear twists quickly into hatred. Rumours spread. Accusations rise. And the valley's cruelty births the curse that will haunt Eldervarn for a millennium.Now, as the Blood Moon climbs higher, the forest stirs, the ground trembles, and the past claws its way back through roots and earth. The curse was never broken. It merely slept.And tonight, it has chosen its heirs.Perfect for readers aged 12+, Echoes of the Cursed Bloodlines blends dark fantasy, atmospheric mystery, and emotional depth into a gripping tale of destiny, fear, and the power hidden within bloodlines. Teens and adults alike will be drawn into a world where legends breathe, forests remember, and ancient wounds return to claim what was promised.The Blood Moon has risen.The curse has awakened.And Thornmere Valley will never be the same.

All lives are tough, but wait until you learn about Seth's and what he overcomes and what he becomes!We all have a story-a complex story. I hope that as you read Seth's story, you will look at each character and ask yourself, "I wonder what has made them who they are." It is an exercise I believe we all should learn to do in real life.
