Emery is a Less Than, raised behind a wall and under a roof that rarely opens, in a system that grooms some to be lowly and some to be Elite. When she is offered an assignment to take care of the Old Ones, she glimpses a world beyond the restricted one she has known. She plans to escape with Augustus, who longs to see the farm he used to live on, and Emery learns much more about the system that kept her from ever seeing the sky--and about the beautiful, rich world she's been kept from. She tastes food, sees trees, and uncovers her own past for the first time. A hopeful story about a crumbling dystopia, Skyward is a reminder of what happens when we put money before people, and how love is the best resistance.

Sylvia Drummond Wright needs to escape. A Toronto-based, Giller-longlisted novelist who's been married thirty years, she secretly buys a dilapidated old lodge in New Brunswick and plans to move there with her grandmother and her disabled adult daughter. But her husband, Kent, takes over and, capitalizing on his wife's success, turns the lodge into a business venture -- a writing retreat. Sylvia is determined not to have anything to do with the Wright Retreat, but as an eclectic group of people converges in the renovated lodge by the water, compelling stories and beautiful friendships emerge, and Sylvia finds herself drawn in. There's Janice, a residential school survivor. Irma, whose husband has dragged her here, and who carries an unbelievable grief. Veronica and Dot, who each carry terrible secrets connected to this very lodge, which used to be a Catholic girls' home and was the site of unbelievable cruelty. By the time the retreat is over, not a single person is unchanged -- least of all Sylvia. Even the lodge itself has been transformed from a place of terror to one of healing. The Wright Retreat is an irresistible celebration of story, friendship, and the astonishing power of connection.

It's 2021, and the housing crisis has reached Saint John, New Brunswick. At eighty-one, Hank Lowman is forced onto the streets when a developer buys the rooming house where he's been living. Although most walk by the old man on the bench in King's Square, a few others begin to chat with him. They soon discover he is a brilliant man with a fascinating history in the music industry--and a complicated, painful past. Hank fled New Brunswick long ago to pursue a career as a recording engineer, and to eventually live his truth as a gay man in San Francisco during the time of Harvey Milk's activism and assassination. He has loved and lost partners, risen to giddying heights as a recording engineer only to have the technology change around him, and through it all ached for the daughter he left behind in New Brunswick. Award-winning author Susan White fills in Hank's life from repressive upbringing, through his growing liberation in San Francisco, and to the terrible fallout after the White Night Riots and Hank's return to New Brunswick in search of his daughter. We meet the people who see Hank as he is--a human who deserves dignity, freedom, and love. Such A Winter's Day is a moving exploration of human rights and justice, and the lasting power of friendship.

While volunteering as a study buddy to reluctant readers, I noticed a need for high-interest reading materials for emergent readers. The books need to have simple texts and visually appealing illustrations. Thus was born: Where Do Animals Go in Winter? It is a question that provokes the curiosity of children, and some of its answers are familiar. It explores the realm of possible homes animals have in winter. The illustrations are designed to encourage children to explore their surroundings and the ending question to provoke their imaginations.
