Congrats to @booksyalove.bsky.social, whose name was randomly drawn to win copies of I'M WORRIED and I'M SAD in my recent #IReadCanadianDay giveaway! Katy recommended BIG WATER by Andrea Curtis, published by @orcabook.bsky.social.
To Katy: I just sent you a DM!
Soโฆ totally missed #IReadCanadianDay.
If youโre looking for an accessible (Hi-Lo) queer #KidLit book by a queer Canuck, I have โStuck With You,โ which is a queer hi-lo rom-com set almost entirely on a train ride between Toronto and Ottawa.
School Library Journal gave me a star, even.
want something for grownups the day after #IReadCanadianDay? i got a whole series. starts getting queer in book 2, with book 4 about queer joy & overcoming grief. maybe it's the light in the dark you need right now (1st book is 99c, but you don't gotta read in order)

i totally missed #IReadCanadianDay yesterday (ha) but i've got an unapologetically queer #kidlit #CanKidLit book about community and finding your strength (and ghosts, dragons and bone magic!) you can check it out here: books2read.com/u/b6J2E0
