On This Remembrance Day❤️

Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifices of all those who served—and the stories that may have been overlooked in our collective memory. Muhammad’s Recipe for Remembering by Maidah Ahmad, illustrated by Shruti Prabhu, is a moving story that reveals these hidden histories and reminds young readers that remembrance is for everyone.

Through Muhammad’s journey to uncover his family’s past, this book shows that honoring loved ones can be as simple as sharing traditions and passing down stories. The author’s note provides additional context, sharing Maidah Ahmad’s own inspiration for writing the book and offering insight into the Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu soldiers who served in the World Wars.

This coming Monday, we honor Remembrance Day—a time to reflect on the sacrifices of those who served. Muhammad’s Recipe for Remembering by Maidah Ahmad, illustrated by Shruti Prabhu, is a beautiful way to introduce young readers to the significance of this day, especially for those whose stories are often missing from the mainstream.

Follow Muhammad’s journey as he discovers his family’s hidden history of courage and remembrance, learning that honoring loved ones can be as simple as sharing a piece of roti. ❤️🌍

With detailed, heartfelt illustrations, this story sheds light on the role of Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu soldiers in the World Wars—stories that deserve to be remembered and passed on.

📖 Perfect for Remembrance Day discussions with kids, families, and classrooms.

🎉 Huge congratulations to Crash Landing by Li Charmaine Anne for its nomination for the prestigious Governor General's Award in the Young People’s Literature – Text category! 🌟

This YA debut is a powerful tribute to q***r identity, growing up in an immigrant community, and the journey of carving out your own space in the world. Set against the skate parks of Vancouver, Crash Landing follows Jay Wong as she navigates her senior year, dreaming of stories worth telling. When she meets the fearless Ash Chan, Jay’s world transforms, giving her a new lens on life, friendship, and self-discovery.

With heart, grit, and a skateboard, Jay’s story reminds us of the strength it takes to step out from under expectations and truly own who you are. Congratulations to Li Charmaine Anne for this well-deserved recognition! 🌈📚

Today’s the day! 🎉✨ Bog Myrtle by Sid Sharp is officially out in the world, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to share it with you! 🕸️🧶

We captured these photos at our neighborhood indie bookstore Queen Books, because their Halloween display perfectly matches the quirky, whimsical spirit of this early reader graphic novel. 📚💛

Bog Myrtle brings you the story of two sisters, a drafty old house, and some industrious spiders—it’s a tale about magic yarn and standing up for what’s right. Sid Sharp’s lush illustrations and wry storytelling make this book absolutely irresistible. 🕷️✨

Kyo Maclear, author of It Began With a Page, says: “It’s wry, whip-smart, and freaking gorgeous. Sid Sharp is a maestro of comic timing and subversion.” We couldn’t agree more!

Pick up a copy from your favorite indie today and dive into this witty modern folktale that explores capitalism, environmentalism, and the power of kindness. 🌿📖

✨And don’t miss the book launch tonight!🕷️

🎶 It’s Release Day! 🎶

We’re beyond excited to announce the release of Under All The Lights by Maya Ameyaw, a gripping and heartfelt novel about music, self-discovery, and the pressure of fame! 🌟🎤

Ollie Cheriet, a songwriter who skyrockets to stardom after one of his songs goes viral, faces the whirlwind of a cross-country tour, an album deal, and mounting personal challenges—including anxiety and his bisexuality. As he navigates stage fright and social media rumors, Ollie finds a surprising sense of calm through his collaboration with Jesse, his talented and very cute touring partner. 🎸✨

Maya Ameyaw pulls readers deep into the world of touring musicians, tackling themes of vulnerability, mental health, and identity. If you’re a fan of If This Gets Out or Alice Oseman’s I Was Born for This, you won’t want to miss this one! 💫

Get your copy today and dive into Ollie’s world as he chases his dreams and confronts the challenges that come with stepping into the spotlight. 🎧❤️
