Illustration of girl in shorts holding a notebook in front of a lying down dog, against a backdrop of city buildings.

Love how this early middle grade novel, THE ANXIOUS EXILE OF SARA SALT” shows how writing letters helps one girl make a difference to others and herself. A great read aloud for a junior classroom! 📚👍🏻 #cankidlit #kidlit #edusky #ireadcanadian @orcabook.bsky.social

The cover image of the picture book Wait Like a Seed by Erin Alladin and Tara Anderson shows a blonde little girl blowing milkweed seeds against a yellow autumn sky.

A circular award seal with a grey and green tree at the centre reads The Nature Generation 2026 GEBA Long List

Had the delight and surprise today of learning that Wait Like a Seed is longlisted for the Green Earth Book Award! If I could have picked the most meaningful award list to be on one day, it would have been this one. I'm honoured they found Wait Like a Seed meets their mandate. #cankidlit #author
