Second book in the Baby World series. Thalita Dol's adorable board book series continues to paint lovely pictures of the things that make up a baby's world. In this new instalment, let's see what kinds of things babies can do!
This picture book is a small glimpse, from A to Z, of some of the sights and sounds of the Michif language and its speakers.
The language of the Metis, Michif is a combination of French and Cree with a trace of other regional languages. Once spoken by thousands of people across the prairies of Canada and the northern United States, Michif is now so little spoken that it might disappear within a generation.
This alphabet book is part of a resurgence to celebrate and preserve the traditions of the Metis people. Here Michif and English words combine with images from Metis culture to introduce all generations to the unique Michif language. The book even includes a brief introduction to the language's history, a pronunciation guide, and a list of references for those interested in learning more about Michif.
Welcome to the world of Jack Wenland, future first officer of the interplanetary and interdimensional Time Guardian Bureau. In this exciting trilogy, Jack is sent back in time from our future to the end of the nineteenth century, where he lands in The Marysburgh Vortex, a mysterious location known for swallowing up ships and sailors on the Great Lakes. But Jack remembers nothing ... only strange trace memories of a bizarre future where the Sun has penetrated our atmosphere and people live underground among the ruins scrambling for survival as strange radiated creatures roam the surface.
But then he stumbles on a murder and the trace memories grow more intense, slicing through his amnesia. Something about the world on the brink of ecological collapse, a mysterious element known as elusine, and a jump back in time to recover this element. The only problem? Jack is, for some unknown reason, being chased by a deadly private army of drones and assassins led by a mysterious figure known as The Dark Master.
As he scrambles to evade capture and discover his mission, he befriends the captain of the schooner Picton, an enigmatic Mohawk warrior and his intrepid daughter, a small rebel group of bots who've escaped The Dark Master, and the eccentric genius Nikola Tesla, the only other human who grasps the importance of Jack's journey through time. With this ragtag group of misfits, Jack must remember when he's from, why he's come here to the past, and why elusine holds the key to Earth's future.
You can't remember how you became the errand boy of a suspected witch. You can only remember being desperate...To reach the witch's hut one must beware of all those creatures of the Whispering Woods. Move faster, pick up speed.
Locals and visitors alike are invited to explore, to experience, and to glimpse the richness of this place's history and myriad landscapes. Incorporating words from the local Lil'wat and Squamish First Nation languages, this book encourages respectful engagement with these Lands, fuelled by curiosity and awe.
My aim, my joy, my pride, is to sing the glories of my own people.

It was the first collection of West Coast legends retold in English by a native artist and has become a classic of Canadian children's and native literature.
