First name . . . Action. Second name . . . Dude. What would happen
if you put Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and Die
Hard-era Bruce Willis in a bucket and stirred them together with a
big stick? You'd get something like Action Dude. That's his real
name. He used to be Charlie Munderdrew, but he changed it. Action
Dude lives for danger and excitement. He's always jumping out of
helicopters, crashing ships, running along the tops of cranes and
walking out of buildings just before they explode. He's nine years
old and also the bravest action hero there ever was. Except that
he's terrified of spiders. (But don't ever tell anyone that!) When
a theme park full of robots goes haywire, it's up to Action Dude to
come to the rescue. After all, no one else is crazy enough to just
walk in there and save everyone.
The Muddy Cuddle is an illustrated book for children in the age
range of 4 - 7 years old. The story is 137 words long and mostly
written in rhyme. It tells the tale of a little girl who loves to
jump a puddle. She also loves her new dress. She gets herself in a
muddle and a mess.
Inspired by true events, this story of strength, family, and
culture shares the awe-inspiring resilience of Elder Betty Ross.
Abandoned as a young child, Betsy is adopted into a loving family.
A few short years later, at the age of 8, everything changes. Betsy
is taken away to a residential school. There she is forced to
endure abuse and indignity, but Betsy recalls the words her father
spoke to her at Sugar Falls--words that give her the resilience,
strength, and determination to survive. Sugar Falls is based on the
true story of Betty Ross, Elder from Cross Lake First Nation. We
wish to acknowledge, with the utmost gratitude, Betty's generosity
in sharing her story. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of
Sugar Falls goes to support the bursary program for The Helen Betty
Osborne Memorial Foundation. This 10th-anniversary edition brings
David A. Robertson's national bestseller to life in full colour,
with a foreword by The Hon. Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and a touching afterword from
Elder Betty Ross herself.
