Forced to abandon exciting plans with her friends and take baby
Penny to the park, Pistachio is sure her first day of summer
holidays will be boring. But keeping Penny out of trouble proves to
be more exciting than Pistachio expected It's the first day of the
summer holidays and Pistachio Shoelace has big plans. Plans that
involve a compass, a cave, and a buried treasure. Plans that do not
involve a troublemaking little sister wearing bunny ears and a
Superman cape. Forced to take baby Penny to the park, Pistachio
prepares for a dull day. But between fruit thefts, a witch's
garden, and an angry park warden with a rulebook, a day with Penny
is anything but boring. Marie-Louise Gay's engaging Princess
Pistachio returns in her second book for early readers. Winningly
translated from French by Gay's son Jacob Homel and illustrated
throughout with Gay's distinctive, brightly-coloured art, Princess
Pistachio and the Pest will charm young princesses and
Super-Bunnies everywhere.

A bestseller in Quebec that describes the horse-trading, intrigue
and unrest behind Trudeau’s quest to repatriate the Constitution.
After the referendum in 1980, Pierre Elliott Trudeau turned his
sights on repatriating the Constitution in an effort to make Canada
fully independent from Britain. What should have been a simple
process snowballed into a complicated intrigue. Quebec, which
thought its prerogatives would be threatened if the Constitution
were repatriated, mounted a charm offensive, replete with fine
dining and expensive wines in order to influence key British MPs.
Not to be outdone, Canada’s native leaders, who felt betrayed by
the British Crown, decided to enter the fray, determined to ensure
that their cause would triumph. The English Labour Party had a view
on the matter as well, which chiefly involved embarrassing Prime
Minister Thatcher as thoroughly as possible. Historian Frédéric
Bastien describes with great flair how the maverick Trudeau and the
uncompromising Thatcher entered into one of history’s most
unlikely marriages of convenience in order to repatriate the
Canadian Constitution.
