Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) was a world-renowned modern artist
noted for her sculptures made of wood, steel, stone, and cast
rubber. Her most famous spider sculpture, Maman, stands more than
30 feet high. Just as spiders spin and repair their webs, Louise's
own mother was a weaver of tapestries. Louise spent her childhood
in France as an apprentice to her mother before she became a
tapestry artist herself. She worked with fabric throughout her
career, and this biographical picture book shows how Bourgeois's
childhood experiences weaving with her loving, nurturing mother
provided the inspiration for her most famous works. With a
beautifully nuanced and poetic story, this book stunningly captures
the relationship between mother and daughter and illuminates how
memories are woven into us all.

A graphic novel about bullying, body image and the transformative
power of fiction. Helene has been inexplicably ostracized by the
girls who were once her friends. Her school life is full of
whispers and lies -- Helene weighs 216; she smells like BO. Her
loving mother is too tired to be any help. Fortunately, Helene has
one consolation, Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. Helene identifies
strongly with Jane's tribulations, and when she is lost in the
pages of this wonderful book, she is able to ignore her tormentors.
But when Helene is humiliated on a class trip in front of her
entire grade, she needs more than a fictional character to see
herself as a person deserving of laughter and friendship. Leaving
the outcasts' tent one night, Helene encounters a fox, a beautiful
creature with whom she shares a moment of connection. But when
Suzanne Lipsky frightens the fox away, insisting that it must be
rabid, Helene's despair becomes even more pronounced: now she
believes that only a diseased and dangerous creature would ever
voluntarily approach her. But then a new girl joins the outcasts'
circle, Geraldine, who does not even appear to notice that she is
in danger of becoming an outcast herself. And before long Helene
realizes that the less time she spends worrying about what the
other girls say is wrong with her, the more able she is to believe
that there is nothing wrong at all. This emotionally honest and
visually stunning graphic novel reveals the casual brutality of
which children are capable, but also assures readers that
redemption can be found through connecting with another, whether
the other is a friend, a fictional character or even, amazingly, a
fox. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English

A New York Times Book Review choice as one of the 10 Best
Illustrated Children's Books of 2011, an Amelia Frances
Howard-Gibbon Award Honour Book, and finalist for the Governor
General's Award: Children's Illustration and Ruth and Sylvia
Schwartz Children's Book Awards: Picture Book Each spring Anna
leaves her home in Mexico and travels north with her family where
they will work on farms. Sometimes she feels like a bird, flying
north in the spring and south in the fall. Sometimes she feels like
a jack rabbit living in an abandoned burrow, as her family moves
into an empty house near the fields. But most of all she wonders
what it would be like to stay in one place. The Low German-speaking
Mennonites from Mexico are a unique group of migrants who moved
from Canada to Mexico in the 1920s and became an important part of
the farming community there. But it has become increasingly
difficult for them to earn a livelihood, and so they come back to
Canada each year as migrant workers in order to survive. And while
they currently have the right to work in Canada, that right may be
challenged. Working conditions are difficult for all migrant
workers, most of whom have to leave families far behind. And yet
countries like Canada and the United States benefit greatly from
their labor. Beautifully written by Maxine Trottier and
imaginatively illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault, this book
describes what it is like to be a child in a migrant family.

A visually stunning, thoughtful and thought-provoking graphic novel about family separation, love and bravery from the award-winning creators of the internationally admired Jane, the Fox and Me.
In this powerful new graphic novel from Fanny Britt and Isabelle Arsenault, we meet Louis, a young boy who shuttles between his mum's home in the city and his dad's house in the country, with his little brother, Truffle who loves to sing James Brown songs. While coming to terms with the sadness and complexities of his divorced parents' relationship, Louis – with the help of his best friend, Boris – is also trying to summon up the courage to speak to his true love, Billie. Seen through the eyes of Louis, this is a beautifully illustrated, true-to-life and hopeful portrayal of a complicated but loving family, and how a wise and sensitive and brave boy still manages to find his own way forward in spite of everything.
Meet Virginia, who is feeling particularly wolfish today. Somehow,
her sister Vanessa must help her feel better. But how can one girl
save another from turning into a grumpy, gobbling wolf? The only
way to find out is to pick up a paintbrush and see where your
imagination takes you.
Once Upon a Northern Night has received starred reviews from
Kirkus, Publishers Weekly and School Library Journal. In this
exquisite lullaby, the beauty and wonder of a northern winter night
unfold, with images of a soft snowfall, the wild animals that
appear in the garden, the twinkling stars, the gentle rhythm of the
northern lights and the etchings of frost on the window pane. As
the young child sleeps, wrapped in a downy blanket, a snowflake
falls, and then another and another. The poem describes the forest
of snow-covered pines, where a deer and fawn nibble a frozen apple,
and a great gray owl swoops down with its feathers trailing through
the snow. Two snowshoe hares scamper and play under the watchful
eyes of a little fox, and a tiny mouse scurries in search of a
midnight feast. When the snow clouds disappear, stars light up the
sky, followed by the mystical shimmering of northern lights - all
framed by the frost on the window. Jean E. Pendziwol's lyrical poem
reflects a deep appreciation of the magic of a northern winter
night where, even as a child slumbers, the world outside does not
rest but continues its own natural rhythms. Isabelle Arsenault's
spare, beautifully rendered illustrations, with their subtle but
striking use of color, make us feel that we too are experiencing
the enchantment of that northern night. They simultaneously evoke
winter's nighttime life and the cozy warmth and security of a
beloved child's sleep.
