Meet Liam, Ava, Oki, Chloe and Noah - Canadian kids representing a multicultural blend of culture and race that typifies our amazing country. They'll take you through a year in the life of Canada's kids, from celebrations, traditions and events, to our everyday way of life and the little things that make childhood so memorable. A Canadian Year is a picture book bursting with national pride. It's a snapshot of who we are as Canadians, blending our modern-day culture and lifestyle with past traditions and native heritage. Its pages feature meandering text, dates and gorgeous illustrations showcasing our five Canadian kids at play, at school, at home, and enjoying the sights and sites of our nation. From the frozen glaciers of our north to the sweeping prairies, rocky mountains and great lakes, from vibrant cities to tiny towns, this is our Canadian childhood.
"Highly recommended for primary libraries – you really must have the whole series. Where are we travelling to next I wonder? … What an absolutely marvelous way for us to spread the joy of inclusivity, promote cross-cultural understandings and foster peaceful relations with others.” * Just So Books *
"Being so very different to Australia our kids love reading all about this foreign country, they can’t imagine what -30°C feels like but they sure get very excited about the sound of ice hockey, sled races, skiing and riding the toboggan. Everyone is chatting about igloos and ice hotels, we discover the meaning of Inuit and why houses in North Canada are built on stilts … Once you’ve finished A Canadian Year you’ll be a true Canada connoisseur." * Hip Little One *
"These books are fabulous for schools. They are educational books kids will want to pick up and explore, and EK Books provides teaching notes on their website to give you inspiration for lessons and activities.” * Kids' Book Review *
"What I really like about this hard-covered book as well as A Kiwi Year is the layout. The sentences are short yet informative making it ideal for even children of young age to understand. The illustrations are bright and give readers a fantastic glimpse into all of the wonderful things there are to do and celebrate in Canada.” * In The Good Books *
"... help to generate an attitude of tolerance and inclusiveness. These books would be important resources in any school or classroom library. "
