Newest book. It's a romance so of course it's dedicated to my wonderful Anita! @CANSCAIP @ForestofReading

In PATTY DREAMS, a boy loves patties in Jamaica. In a new country, he longs for the taste of home. An author's note refers to Jamaican Patty Day on Feb 23. The picture book is a #ForestofReading '26 nominee. ✍️@nadialhohn🎨@RobinsonsCrew #BlackHistoryMonth youtube.com/shorts/K4c8KEm2W…

I really think we need a petition to declare you a pillar of Canadian children's literature, Helen 😁

My favourite award - win or lose the readers always choose the book that speaks to them. Forest of Reading is the best way to encourage students to read and develop both a love of reading and increased reading skills.

Congratulations to @EricRWalters for his Red Maple Fiction nomination for Finding Harmony @ForestofReading @CANSCAIP

Always so wonderful to be part of the program that not only celebrates Canadian literature but promotes literacy in students!

It’s time for another BOOKFLAP FRIDAY, and in honor of the last Friday in #pride month, I’m shining a bright beautiful 🌈 light on author @pauljcoccia’s newest YA read, RECOMMEND READING! Published by @zandoprojects, this is a heartfelt, charming romcom that shares the meaningful & timeless message to not judge a book (or person) by its cover. Paul Coccia’s sweet, coming of age story is a gentle, but powerful reminder that people are layered, and so our love stories. RECOMMENDED READING takes us inside the hearts and minds of anyone who’s been brave enough to love loudly. For those of us who have felt the sting of unrequited love, and for those of us who may have judged a cover too quickly and not taken the opportunity to read the pages inside. Here’s to love stories! Here’s to accepting and loving ourselves, and here’s to Paul Coccia’s RECOMMENDED READING, a book I know you’ll love! #pridereads @ForestofReading @diversebooks #ya
