Fridolin a reçu la mission de faire peur aux oiseaux. Monsieur Pigeon l’a fabriqué avec le manche à balai de sa femme, du foin, du fil de fer et de vieux vêtements. Mais malheureusement, l’homme ne lui a fait qu’une jambe. Comment pourra-t-il courir après les corneilles ? Planté au bout de son champ, Fridolin s’ennuie et subit les chauds rayons du soleil, puis la tempête le malmène et lui arrache la moitié de ses habits. Monsieur Pigeon doit absolument le réparer, mais cette fois, il écoute et lui façonne deux pattes solides. Et pour que l’épouvantail ne trouve le temps trop long, il lui donne une gentille compagne.

    The shake-shake of maracas vibrates down to my toes. Ti Gran's feet tap-tap to the rhythm. Every year, Haitians all over the world ring in the new year by eating a special soup, a tradition dating back to the Haitian Revolution. This year, Ti Gran is teaching Belle how to make the soup-Freedom Soup-just like she was taught when she was a little girl. Together, they dance and clap as they prepare the holiday feast, and Ti Gran tells Belle about the history of the soup, the history of Belle's family, and the history of Haiti, where Belle's family is from. In this celebration of cultural traditions passed from one generation to the next, Belle's story and the story of the Haitian Revolution are brought to life. Tami Charles's lyrical text, as accessible as it is sensory, makes for a tale that everyone will enjoy to the last drop.

    A gorgeous picture book that pays homage to aviator Freddie Carmichael - the first Indigenous commercial pilot in the Arctic - with each month of the year highlighting moments from his life, the beauty of the North and the power of dreams. When Freddie was young, he saw a plane up close for the first time when it dropped off supplies at his family's remote bush camp. He was instantly hooked. Freddie has flown for nearly seventy years, doing everything from supply runs to search and rescue to transporting dog teams to far-flung areas. This book celebrates Freddie's early dreams of flying and his later achievements. Readers move with Freddie through the year, hearing about his journey as a pilot and leader, while learning the names of the months in Gwich'in and Inuvialuktun at the same time. Art from Inuvialuit painter Audrea Loreen-Wulf perfectly captures the incredible Western Arctic as well as Freddie's love for aviation.
