Celebrated artist Isabelle Arsenault joins forces with author
Jonathan Stutzman for an enchanting tale about the expansive power
of generosity. Vincent was a mouse with boots on his feet, a hat on
his head, and a house on his back. When an ordinary spot on a
grassy hill calls out to him, Vincent puts down the house he
carries on his back and knows he's where he needs to be. As hungry
and tired travellers pass by, Vincent welcomes them into his home,
making room for everyone. And even when it seems that the house is
as full as it possibly can be, there is no woodland animal too big
or too scary - not a ravenous cat, nor a fox, nor a whole herd of
deer - that Vincent would turn it away from his warm, magical home
on the hill. Jonathan Stutzman's charming voice is enhanced by the
elegant, inventive die-cut art of three-time Governor General's
Award winner Isabelle Arsenault in this classic tale of a generous
little mouse with a special house and an ever-expanding heart.
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

In this astonishingly-drawn wartime story, a little girl called Rosalie is a captain on a very secret mission – a mission to learn how to read. Mother reads often to Rosalie, especially when Father sends them letters from the front line describing the forest in the distance, the churned-up soil and the soldiers hiding in holes. But as Rosalie gets further along in her mission and begins to piece together the words in her father’s letters, the truth about the consequences of war are finally and irrevocably revealed.

His mum is a spoon. His dad is a fork. And he's a bit of both. He's
Spork! Spork sticks out in the regimented world of the cutlery
drawer. The spoons think he's too pointy, while the forks find him
too round. He never gets chosen to be at the table at mealtimes
until one day a very messy ... thing arrives in the kitchen who has
never heard of cutlery customs. Will Spork finally find his place
at the table? This multi-cutlery tale is a humorous and lively
commentary on individuality and tolerance. Its high-spirited
illustrations capture the experience and emotions of anyone who has
ever wondered about their place in the world.
An emotionally truthful and visually stunning graphic novel about
solace and redemption.
"A superb, masterful piece of work." Financial Times
"A graphic novel so well drawn and beautifully told I'm certain it will
speak to adults too" Observer
Helene is not free to hide from the taunts of her former friends in the
corridors at school. She can't be invisible in the playground or in the
stairways leading to art class. Insults are even scribbled on the walls
of the toilet cubicles. Helene smells, Helene's fat, Helene has no
friends ... now. When Helene's heart hammers in her chest as Genevieve
snickers at the back of the bus, inventing nasty things to say about
her, Helene dives into the pages of her book Jane Eyre by Charlotte
Bronte. And, in the solace she finds there, Helene's own world becomes
a little brighter. But how will the story end? Is there any hope for
the wise, strange, plain Jane Eyre? How could Mr Rochester ever love
her? On nature camp, arranged by the school as a treat, Helene finds
herself in the tent of other outcasts. Again, her inner and outer
worlds become entangled as she reads on - this time putting herself
into Jane Eyre's shoes. It would be impossible for Mr Rochester to
marry a sausage in a swimsuit, even if he loved her. Wouldn't it? But,
while deeply lost in self-doubt, Helene's world is unexpectedly shaken
up by a fresh new friendship. Geraldine snorts with laughter at her
jokes! They love being together! Helene begins to worry less about what
the cruel girls think - and more about how happy she can be (and make
others)... Perhaps Jane Eyre's story will end well after all, too.

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.
