Mäko
Julian Béziat
Every day, Mäko the walrus would
begin to work.
Using blocks of ice, Mäko sculpted the
undersea world where the fish swim
and hide—because Mäko knew he
wasn’t just a walrus. He was also an
artist.

However, while his friends always
admired his art, they didn’t really
understand Mäko’s passion for his
unusual sculptures.
But when catastrophe strikes the
iceberg and all the fish disappear, it’s
up to Mäko and his strange talents to
save his community.

What’s for
Lunch?
Tomson
Highway
Illustrated by
John Rombough
Whether their school is under a banyan tree, in a dusty tent held up with poles, or in a sturdy brick structure in the
heart of a bustling city, children everywhere need a healthy lunch to be able to learn and grow. Good food nourishes
both bodies and brains.
What we eat has become part of a huge global system. Unpack a school lunch, and you’ll discover that food is
connected to issues that really matter such as climate change, health, and poverty.
Packed with colour photos and sidebars dealing with both food culture and global issues, What’s for Lunch?
highlights the ways kids all over the world are taking charge of their school lunches—growing gardens, learning how
to cook, and speaking out about their right to healthy food.
What’s for Lunch?
What’s For Lunch? travels the world, peering inside lunch trays, bags, mugs, and bowls, revealing the amazing
variety found in school meals. With stops in Japan, Kenya, Afghanistan, the United States, Peru, Canada, and more,
you’ll find some meals are nutritious and well-balanced, while others barely satisfy basic nutrition standards.

What’s for Lunch?
BY ANDREA CURTIS
Writer Andrea Curtis loves mucking around in her family’s small backyard veggie patch and dreaming up new recipes for kale
and tomatoes. Her writing—on everything from urban politics to lost shipwrecks—has won numerous awards. She also teaches
creative writing to kids, and volunteers for The Stop Community Food Centre, a Toronto nonprofit. What’s for Lunch? is Andrea’s
first book for children. She lives in Toronto with her husband and two sons.
Photographer Yvonne Duivenvoorden grew up on a dairy farm in New Brunswick’s Chaleur Bay region. Her mother often
threw extra potatoes into the pot at suppertime, so that leftovers could be sliced, pan-fried and packed into Yvonne’s lunch the
following day. That, along with a bottle of farm fresh milk, was the best lunch she could wish for! Yvonne is now a photographer
based in Toronto.

Stewie is a very special skink – he has a beautiful blue
tail which gives him a superpower against his enemies.
Stewie loves singing his songs and rhymes as he dashes
around his home. But as he grows up his beautiful blue
tail starts to turn grey – he can’t call himself Stewie the
Blue anymore! And without his rhymes, his home by the
pond doesn’t feel as special either. A new Tell-Me-More
Storybook about self-esteem, change, and growing
up. Includes non-fiction back matter with bonus
information and activities.
“I’m Stewie the Blue!” he’d shout over the pond. And
he would make up little songs as he darted through the
woods.
I’m Stewie.
I’m blue-y.
It really is true-y.
I like to eat crickets and centipedes chewy.
Lisa Dalrymple is the author of the picture book If It’s No

The Best Gifts is the story of Sara and the important
moments in her life. It starts with her birth and
concludes when she welcomes her own baby. On each
occasion, friends and family bring gifts to celebrate. In
the end, though, the most cherished gifts are the ones
that cannot be purchased. The first cherished gift Sara
receives is her mother’s milk and the story comes full
circle when she gives that same gift to her own baby.
Originally published in 1998, The Best Gifts has been
fully revised, with all-new illustrations and updated
breastfeeding resource information.

“Hold a ceremony to honor your ancestors and ask them to help,
a joyful ceremony filled with guests.”
“Joyful?” my mother said. “How can we be joyful at a time like
this?”
“A joyful ceremony it must be,” replied the healer. “Nothing less
will bring the ancestors from their lands of the night. Let’s seek
joy in hope.”
And there follows one of those magical sequences that are
found in the traditional tales of East Africa, where Tololwa
comes from. First, neighbours and friends come to the event –
then angels and finally Mola – God. Music and dancing ensue,
and when the exhausted Ra-Eli wakes, Mola hands the now
recovered baby to his joyful mother.
This story is a true testament to the power of ceremony and
music and the honouring of ancestors who come,from the

Listen to the beating drum
It tells a hundred stories
Of our people, of our homeland
Some of birds and beasts and sweet grass.

You might come to hear a story
That no one hears but you alone
A story of your very own.

“Based on Cree painter Allen Sapp’s childhood
memories of life on a reserve in Saskatchewan, The Song
Within My Heart tells of a young boy who is getting ready
to go to a pow wow. Woven throughout the story is the
boy’s close relationship with his Nokum (grandmother).
Bouchard’s lyrical text, with its thoughtfully chosen
words, evokes a quiet, introspective mood. Richly
textured and infused with an almost radiant light
quality, the illustrations reinforce strongly the simplicity
of life on a reserve, the significance of the pow wow and,
of course, the love between grandmother and grandson.
Beautifully crafted. Highly Recommended.”

Voices From the Wild
An Animal Sensagoria
by David Bouchard
Illustrated by Ron Parker
What would it be like if more than two dozen different
wild animals from around the world got together to boast
about their senses? David Bouchard delivers a unique
exploration of the realm of the senses in 25 animal
portraits. In warm, lyrical verse, Bouchard introduces
the reader to some fascinating aspects of natural history
and explores each sense—sight, smell, touch, hearing,
and taste—through the voices of such captivating
animals as the eagle, orca, wildebeest, cougar, elephant,
moose, koala, and wolf.
Enhancing Bouchard’s whimsical poetry are the wildlife
paintings of noted British Columbia artist Ron Parker.
In fact, it is the artist whom the various animals try to
impress with their respective senses, whether it is the
grizzly’s lofty claims for best smell, the penguin’s gentle
declaration of superior vision, or the gorilla’s confident
assertion of closeness to humans in all senses.

open the door to ecological activism that has reached
a new and critical stage. Today, with widespread
understanding of the threat to the planet’s natural
systems, these groundbreakers are joined by a new
breed of environmentalist. Like Hunter and Suzuki,
these GreenHeroes are unafraid to roll up their sleeves
and step on some toes to get the job done. Among a
rich and diverse collection of stories are heroes with
mainstream appeal from the world of business, sports,
and entertainment including Nascar racer, Leilani
Munter, National Hockey league defenceman, Andrew
Ference, and Tragically Hip frontman, Gord Downie.
GreenHeroes is about everyday people too. Those original
thinkers looked inside their world and found innovative
ways to make a difference. People like One Million Acts
of Green’s Willa Black and Nobel Prize winner, Wangari
Maathai, began international movements based on a

Left: The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states every child has the right to play,
but still many children never get the chance. Right: In Palestine, girls are learning that they
have the right to play.
Chapter 1
Let's Play
H
ave you ever felt down, bored or lonely,
but then a friend came along and said,
“Hey, you want to play?” Maybe you
had a game of catch, kicked a ball around,
or played hide and seek. Whatever it was,
it probably didn’t take long before you
forgot your worries and felt full of energy,
enthusiasm and joy. That’s no surprise
because play has a magical way of making us
feel happy and good about ourselves.
Some people—you know, the ones they
call experts—say play is the most important
work a kid can do. That’s right! Not only is
play fun and good exercise, it’s also a way for
kids to learn about sharing, negotiating and
compromising, improvising and inventing,
acting with grace and sportsmanship, and
making goals and mastering challenges. Not
only that, play can improve a child’s selfesteem and help heal painful memories too.
Oh yeah. One other great thing about play:
It gives children the opportunity to become
key players in a worldwide peace movement.
Play puts everyone on an even playing field
where the focus is on the game, on playing it
well, and on making it fun for everyone. Religion, race, nationality, gender, and physical
ability do not matter. Play removes barriers
and builds on our common need to express
joy in movement.

an international agreement, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 31,
that states every child has the right to engage
in play and recreational activities and that
their governments must respect, promote and
protect this right. Many world leaders understand that protecting children’s right to play
is a great way to raise healthy, caring and responsible citizens.
Unfortunately, even with this special
UN agreement in place, there are many
children around the world who never get the
chance to play. Sometimes it’s because their
countries have been at war, or face extreme
poverty or disease. Some children who are
forced to become soldiers lose the ability to
be childlike and joyful and can’t forget the
horrors they have seen or forgive themselves
for participating in war. Others never learn to
play because they have to work long hours in
hot factories or out in the fields. Some have
to take on the role of parenting their younger
brothers and sisters. In some regions, certain
children aren’t allowed to play simply because

Rick Hansen suffered a spinal cord injury at the age of 15
after a car accident. But it didn’t stop him—during the
1980s he was active in the Paralympics as a wheelchair
basketball player. He became inspired by Terry Fox’s
Marathon of Hope, and when Terry Fox was forced to
end his run across Canada prematurely, Rick Hansen
made a vow to carry on. This vow became the “Man In
Motion World Tour.” Rick circumnavigated the globe in
his wheelchair, raising awareness and money for spinal
cord research. It was a 26-month trek across 4 continents
and 34 countries. Rick’s activism and the foundation he
created after the tour continue to this day.

How Far Do You Love Me?
As Fast As Words Could Fly?
Lulu Delacre
Pamela M Tuck illustrations by
Eric Velasquez
Based on a bedtime game author/illustrator
Lulu Delacre played with her young daughters,
How Far Do You Love Me? is an “I love you”
book with a twist. With every expression o flove,
readers visit one of thirteen different locations
around the world, each a beautifully illustrated
scene of adults and children in a place of
natural beauty.
Fourteen year old Mason Steel takes pride in
turning his father’s excited ramblings about
the latest civil rights incidents into handwritten
business letters. One day Pa comes home with
a gift from his civil rights group: a typewriter.
Thrilled with the present, Mason spends all
his spare time taeching himself to type. Soon
he knows where every letter on the keyboard
is located.
How Far Do You Love Me? is just right for
sharing and snuggling up close. As bedtime—or
any quiet time—approaches, gather close with
a special person in your life and get ready to let
your imagination soar to place after place of
love as you embark on a game of “How far do
you love me?” The possibilities are endless.
When the civil rights group wins a school
desegregation case, Mason learns that now
he will be attending a formerly all-white high
school.
Despite his fears and injustice from the students
and faculty, Mason perseveres. He does well in
school—especially in his typing class. And when
he competes in the county typing tournament,
Mason decides to take a stand, using his skills
to triumph over suspicions and racial prejudice.

Awakening
Hammer of Witches
Karen Sandler
Shana Mlawski
In this sequel to Tankborn, fifteen-year-old
GEN Kayla’s life has changed completely.
Once a Chadi sector GEN girl terrified of her
first Assignment, Kayla is now a member of
the Kinship, a secret organization of GENs,
lowborns, and trueborns. Kayla travels on
Kinship business while trying to further the
cause of GEN freedom.
Baltasar Infante, a bookmaker’s apprentice
living in 1492 Spain, can weasel out of any
problem with a good story. But when he
awakens one night to find a monster straight
out of his stories peering at him through his
window, he’s in trouble that even he can’t talk
his way out of. Soon Balthasar is captured by a
mysterious arm of the Spanish Inquisition, the
Malleus Maleficarum, that demands he reveal
the whereabouts of Amir al-Katib, a legendary
Moorish sorcerer who can bring myths and
the creatures within them to life. Baltasar, of
course, doesn’t know where the man is—or
that Bal himself has the power to summon
genies and golems.
Now Baltasar must escape the Malleus
Malificarum so he can find al-Katib and help
him defeat a dreadful power that may destroy
the world as they know it.
Despite her relative freedom, she is still a slave
to the trueborn ruling class. She longs to be truly
free, but other priorities have gotten in the way.
A paradoxically deadly new virus has swept the
sectors—a disease only GENs catch. And now
bombings of GEN warrens have started. There
must be a way to stop the killing...before it’s too
late.
Karen Sandler is the author of the first Tankborn
book as well as seventeen other novels for
adults. She lives in northern California.
Shana Mlawski is a native New Yorker who
has written for the pop culture website
overthinkingit.com. This is her first novel.

An unusual discovery was made at
a Rideau Canal lockstation near
Kingston, Ontario early one morning.
There appeared to be a car underwater. Workers assumed the car was
stolen and dumped the night before;
or maybe it was a graduation prank.
There was no reason to suspect foul
play until a diver made a grisly discovery within the vehicle.
A few hours later, a black Nissan
was pulled from the waters. It contained
the bodies of three sisters—Zainab,
Sahar, and Geeti Shafia—along with
that of their presumed aunt, Rona
Amir Mohammad.
Later that day, family members
reported the women missing. Kingston
police became suspicious. The stories
told by parents Tooba Mohammad
Yahya and Mohammad Shafia, and
their eldest son, Hamed, didn’t match
up with the rapidly gathering evidence.
An extensive investigation unfolded, revealing a troubling story of
physical and emotional abuse in the
Shafia home—including threats of
murder. There were records of previous
intervention by authorities on behalf
of the women. Some members of the
community close to the Shafias voiced
their fears, while others remained
tight-lipped. Police began to suspect a

Arnold Zageris
ARNOLD ZAGERIS
Why Labrador?
One of my most persistent memories of this rarely seen
part of Canada has been northern Labrador’s vastness,
isolation and wildness.
Far from busy roads or crowded villages the Kiglapaits,
Kaumajets and Torngat mountains rise from a deep
cold sea, isolated, ice-covered and bare. Misty fjords,
towering cliffs and dark lost valleys hold secrets long
hidden and remain so. Here long ago Vikings passed
and Inuit hunted. Today it lies waiting to be discovered.
This is not a land as Sebastian Cabot once said “God
gave to Cain” but a land that will seduce you by its sheer
grandeur and beauty.

Everyone takes pictures to bring back memories of
times and places that moved them. The greater the
emotional impact or involvement the greater is the need
to preserve them. Precious memories fade quickly and
become fleeting. My experience with Labrador has been
long and intense. Compiling the images of sixteen trips
refreshes old memories and allows stories to re-surface
that are just wanting to be told. A book gels this mosaic
of emotions, discoveries and feelings.
There is also a joy and satisfaction in sharing my images
and the experience of my voyages with others who can
travel vicariously or plan trips of their own. A book
would open a dialogue with kindred spirits, artists and
travellers alike and the beauty of Labrador would not be
lost but twice shared.

The Carbon Rush
Amy Miller
Written by award-winning documentarian Amy Miller,
The Carbon Rush focuses on the real meaning of Carbon
trading, where countries can buy and sell anothers’
carbon emission through a system where carbon credits
are traded like stocks and bonds. It is really a zero-sum
formula where the amount of carbon-based pollution
is not being reduced – only moved by brokers among
countries. Credits are then given which are used to
bankroll huge industrial operations, many of which are
ravaging both the world’s poor and their environments,
many of which are aboriginal.
Amy Miller is a media maker and social justice
organizer based in Montréal. She directed the
featurette documentary Myths for Profit: Canada’s Role
In Industries of War and Peace which was screened
across Canada and at festivals including the Milano
Film Festival, RIDM. It won the People’s Choice award
at the Bay Street Film Festival. Her first short Outside of
Europe won second place for the CBC--RCI’s Migr@tion
Award. She has worked extensively with The Dominion

continues to focus on developing critical documentaries
for transformative social change.

When the Canadian Pacific Railway was built in the early
1880s to connect the thriving cities of Eastern Canada with the
fledgling communities on the West Coast of British Columbia,
however, this first, tenuous lifeline of the wildly ambitious
enterprise stretched across more than two thousand miles
of rugged, nearly uninhabited wilderness – with no blanket
authority or viable system of law enforcement.
Initially the country’s own mounted police force took up the
challenge of protecting the men and women who accomplished
the national dream of forging a link from sea to sea and beyond;
but, inevitably, the responsibility for the security of people and
goods would fall to the Canadian Pacific itself and the private
police force which grew up with the company.
From its somewhat disreputable origins of ad-hoc groups of
semi-autonomous armed watchmen and strike-breaking
thugs organized at the local level to the fully-professional
force created in 1913 by the CPR president, the stage was set
for more than a century of Canadian Pacific Police Services
to come. The quiet efficiency with which its officers have
conducted themselves in their ongoing battles with fraud,
theft, smuggling, bombings, murder and mayhem, and the
degree to which they have managed to avoid controversy and
public scrutiny, speak well for the men and women on the
“Railway Beat.”

A Reliquary, Daryl Hine’s final collection of poetry,
completed just months before he died, is a portrait of
the poet aging. It is elegies for lost friends and odes to
absent ones, the poet himself suffering in sickness yet
never despondent. There is real joy here, a vivacious
voice confined to a wheelchair and singing out to the
world. The poems themselves are both relics contained
within a reliquary and the reliquary itself, yet they are
also alive with the witty and masterful plays of language
for which Hine is best known.

Anne Compton’s fourth collection, Alongside, tells an
unexpected love story, a celebration of beauty which
begins in the mind and wanders out into the garden
and back again through the library. It is a story that
moves between the wild and the domestic. Beauty, like
the figure of the fox that appears and re-appears here,

Tales Behind the
Loincloth
Jennifer Podemski
For many years, Jennifer Podemski told herself a lie and if lie
haunted her. The lie was that she hated being an “Indian” and
everything that it represented. Ultimately, when she faced
down the lie for what it was and embraced who she was.

From the age of eight, Jennifer understood she was born to
perform. She wanted to sing, dance, and make people laugh.
She threw herself into school plays, music, dancing, and the
school choir. She began auditioning for work as an extra in TV
and films, and then one day she met Bruce McDonald who was
directing a film called Dance Me Outside. He offered Jennifer
the lead role of Sadie Maracle, an experience that proved to be
life defining for her. Dance Me Outside set her on a journey that
formed the actor, producer, and storyteller Jennifer Podemski
is today.
Along the way she realized that in order to achieve her dreams
she would have to change the industry, and so she decided to
do just that. “I began to feel strongly that a part of my purpose
in life was to inject Aboriginal perspectives into the otherwise
plain and colourless Canadian television industry but, in
addition, to make a difference at the grass roots level in the
community.”
Jennifer began producing in 1999 when she co-founded
the production company Big Soul Productions with Laura
Milliken. Together they created and produced many awardwinning television and film projects, The Seventh Generation.
Today, Jennifer owns and operates Redcloud Studios Inc., an
independent production company dedicated to strengthening
aboriginal visibility in the film and television industry, both
behind the scenes and in front of the camera.
In her honest, cut-to-the-chase memoir, Behind the Buckskin
and Feathers, Jennifer tells it like it was, how she went from
being a self-hating Indian with low self-esteem, to a respected,
active member of the Aboriginal community. It’s an inspiring
journey for Natives and non-Natives, performers and aspiring
performers, and anyone who has a dream to be the best that
they can be.

Groundwater
in Canada
Compiled by Alfonso Rivera
Chief Hydrogeologist, Geological Survey of Canada
Most fresh water – other than glaciers – is found
underground. All of the water in the lakes and rivers of
the world accounts for a fraction of the world’s available
freshwater resources. Less than 1% comes from surface
water while 99 percent comes from the groundwater
found in aquifers.
Nevertheless, a fundamental question remains in
our water-rich country: how much fresh water do we
actually have? Groundwater is a strategic resource,
currently supplying clean, abundant and relatively
cheap freshwater to more than 10 million Canadians.
This book represents the first comprehensive,
synthesized single volume assessment of groundwater
resources in Canada. Walkerton, water crisis, climate
change, land use, drought, water energy, water bulk
transfers, urbanization, transboundary aquifers – all
of these are keywords and issues affecting Canadians
today.

This book represents the work of 45 noted Canadian

geographic region, and analyzes the state of groundwater

In 2007, the Rideau Canal and Kingston Fortifications
were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A trip to any
of the 24 lockstations along the 202-kilometre waterway,
or to Fort Henry and the Martello towers in Kingston,
reveals why the Rideau has earned this distinction. The
historical sites are remarkably well-preserved and the
canal system continues to operate almost exactly as it
did when completed in 1832.
Rideau Canal: A Historical Guide was written and
illustrated to provide visitors with a historical overview
of the waterway’s origins, the story of its supervising
engineer and creator Lt.-Col. John By, as well as insights
into its operations and construction. The book contains
dozens of full-colour photos of the canal as it looks today
and historical paintings from the time of its building.

Taya soars over Ondinium on metal wings. She is an
icarus—a courier privileged to travel freely across the
city’s sectors and mingle indiscriminately among its
castes. But even she can’t outfly the web of terrorism,
loyalty, murder, and intrigue that snares her after a
daring mid-air rescue. Taya finds herself entangled with
the Forlore brothers, scions of an upperclass family:
handsome, brilliant Alister, who sits on the governing
council and writes programs for the Great Engine; and
awkward, sharp-tongued Cristof, who has exiled himself
from his caste and repairs clocks in Ondinium’s lowest
sector. Both hide dangerous secrets, in this city that
beats to the ticking of a clockwork heart….

Canadian authors have recently come out of the
“genre fiction” closet to make their mark in the
high-brow literary world. Robert Sawyer reigns over
speculative and science fiction, Peter Robinson is the
master of murder and mystery fiction, Charles de Lint
heads up the fantasy genre, and Edo van Belkom has
published Northern Horror, an anthology of Canadian
horror writers.
In Northern Heat, Canadian authors stake a claim to the
erotic romance genre and step out from behind their
nom de plume to receive the recognition they deserve.
Pages: 240
Erotic romance stories have romance as the main focus
of the plot line, but the action is enriched with strong,
often explicit, sexual content. Erotic romance should
not be confused with pornography or erotica. Erotica
portrays human anatomy and sexuality with high-art
aspirations, while pornography aims to arouse sexuality.
Perhaps the best known work of erotic romance is 50
Shades of Grey by E.L. James. Unlike this work of formula
characters and action, the stories in Northern Heat are
genuine works of art, not just light entertainment.
Is this what Pierre Berton had in mind when he defined
a Canadian as someone who can make love in a canoe?
Read on.

Twenty-five years ago, Quarry Press introduced to the
Canadian literary scene the short, short story genre, also
known as quick fiction, flash fiction, quick fiction, and
postcard fiction, with the publication of Open Windows:
Canadian Short, Short Stories. The book was reviewed
enthusiastically in the New York Times Book Review in
its New and Notable column, and Quarry was credited
with fostering this form of “quick fiction.” Since then the
postcard story has become a Canadian literary fixture,
featured in several annual writing contests, including a
contest sponsored by Geist Magazine and the Writers’
Union of Canada (WUC).
Postcard Fiction …. features the WUC contest winners
and runners-up for the past 15 years, with a wrinkle. The
stories are being designed as real postcards with the text

Sword Techniques
of Musashi and the
Other Samurai Masters
Fumon Tanaka
In this landmark book, author Fumon Tanaka uses the
life and accomplishments of sword master Miyamoto
Musashi to explore the history of swords and sword
fighting and show the key role they played in the
development of the traditional Japanese martial arts
systems.

The book opens with an introduction to Musashi as a
real-life figure, not just the legend. Musashi was born in
1584, a time of transition in Japan that saw centuries of
violence give way to an era of peace. In his early years,
Musashi studied kenjutsu (the technique of the sword)
and trailed as a warrior. By the age of thirty, he had
proved himself a gifted swordsman. Warriors, however,
were no longer needed for battle. Musashi turned to
the inner secrets and theories of kenjutsu in order to
find a deeper meaning to life. He became a painter and
wrote Zen poetry. In 1643, when he was sixty years old,
Musashi wrote his classic work, The Book of Five Rings.
Musashi was a master of the two-sword (masterless
warrior) way of life and opened a kenjutsu dojo, where
he taught two-sword fighting.
The long history of Japan is also the history of the martial
arts, which evolved from swordsmanship. And since the
mental, spiritual and physical aspects are inseparable,
an exploration of traditional martial arts is also a look at
the very essence of Japanese culture.
Fumon Tanaka is the leading authority on the traditional
martial arts in Japan and has written many books on the
subject, including Samurai Fighting Arts.
