Four years after its release, and The Barren Grounds is the #14 bestselling Canadian title in 2024 so far. 💥

Throwback to the end of the school year when I visited Karen Upper (her/she) resident "Book Dragon" for 2 days of school visits! I didn't get many pics (I was having too much fun!) but after the 7th and final presentation I had to fit in a quick photo shoot in the cemetery across the street! 🪦👻 @scholasticcda

I had the pleasure of visiting Northern Bookworms in Parry Sound a few weeks ago, and I can't recommend them enough. I added a bloody handprint to their wall, shared some scary stories, and signed Haunted Canada, Summer's End, or House of Ash and Bone!

My momma heart needed a little retail therapy today. Found this guy at a local shop and knew he was coming home with me! Can’t wait to bring him to our classroom when we read The Scarecrow!

A lovely new #boardbook edition of @JeremyRTankard's SLEEPY BIRD is out this month from Scholastic (Thanks Scholastic Canada) He's always been Grumpy Bird but being overly tired makes things worse. Fortunately he has great friends. canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2024/08/sleepy…

Just arrived. After reading The King of Jam Sandwiches so many people wanted to know about Harmony's story. For those who not only survive but somehow overcome and thrive. Out next spring. Helen Kubiw OLA The CCBC Cdn School Libraries CANSCAIP Orca Book Publishers
