Kids Like Me
Kids Like Me is an inclusive, character-based bilingual French and English colouring book. It features detailed illustrations of diverse youth paired with simple, fun character stories. Kids are invited to colour pages and read about children with a wide range of physical and mental abilities, gender identities, body diversity, cultures and religions, family dynamics, and socio-economic backgrounds. With stories that encourage the act of giving, sharing, and respecting nature, Kids Like Me promotes acceptance, kindness, and positivity. Children and parents alike will either see themselves represented, or be given the chance to learn about people from different walks of life. Short character descriptions in both French and English help children practice their reading in both languages, while the colouring book pages invite adults and youth to colour together, ask questions, and learn to recognize the beauty in our differences.
The Audacity of Inclusion
One beautiful, surprisingly warm spring morning on the isolated islands of Haida Gwaii, an insight smacked Dulcie McCallum in the face with the force of an unexpected tsunami: at the heart of it all, the law was the culprit. Rather than promoting rights, the law was itself the taproot of injustice. For people with an intellectual disability, the law is what defines their disadvantage, not their disability. For every child diagnosed with the label of intellectual disability, there remains a certain lousy predictability to the way they will be treated by society and the prejudice that will haunt them. Officially labelled with the r-word, they have also been tagged with “imbecile” or “mor...
Coal Town Kids
Duane Radford and his friends from childhood reminisce about growing up in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta (lovingly called “the Pass”), when the area’s coal mines were active. Set on the edge of the Canadian Rockies, in southwestern Alberta, the Pass includes the small towns of Bellevue, Hillcrest, Frank, Blairmore, and Coleman—all along Highway 3. In the 1950s, the Pass was a hard place for people to make a living and most faced adversity, relying on their own resourcefulness to survive. The community itself was largely made up of immigrants from many different countries, some of whom were escaping their war-torn homelands. Despite the hardships of working in the mines, the Pass offered an...
Kate and the Composers
A blend of fact and fiction, Kate and the Composers follows Kate Bourke, a young girl who emigrates from Ireland with her family to make a new life in Toronto in the late nineteenth century. After leaving school in Grade 8 to help support her family, she works as a maid and then a proofreader, but harbours a secret desire to become a writer. Music is her north star, and Kate draws inspiration and consolation throughout her life from her Uncle Frederick’s popular song, “The Flight of Ages.” Her marriage to a flautist and composer who is starting a musician’s union brings a new set of challenges while she tries to pursue her dream.
River Becomes Shadow
It is said that one day, wherever River walks, the earth will turn green again. In the dying wasteland that is rural Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the year 2036, this seems impossible. But where others see impossibilities, twelve-year-old River cultivates hope. She sees what a new world can be, even when the oppressive regime known as the Elect enslaves more and more people every day. Even if it means sacrificing herself along the way. In this second installment of the Taggak Journey trilogy, River has left Gran Flo and her swamp far behind. She’s joined by her cousin Tag, their guide to shadow running, a means to travel in secrecy requiring complete focus. But without proper food and s...
Produce, Price and Promote Your Self-Published Fiction or Non-fiction Book and e-Book
If you are interested in this book, I presume you have written a book or plan to write one, and are thinking of self-publishing it. If so, this is the place to start. If you self-publish a non-fiction book of interest to a defined target market, or a book of fiction for people who read the genre you have produced, you can begin to promote it to interested readers. I have sold close to 10,000 books. So while I'm no E.L. James (author of the originally self-published 50 Shades of Grey), I am a happy and profitable self-published author. Perhaps you can become one too. Having said that, your desire to self-publish may not be all about book sales. You may be looking to write a book to give to family and friends. You may be looking to gain the credibility that publishing a book gives a speaker or workshop leader. You may have other reasons for publishing your book. No matter your reason, this book will answer many of your self-publishing questions, point you in the right direction and get you started. In short, as the title says, this book will help you produce, price and promote your self-published book.

Sustainable Urban Landscapes
This book is about how to make our new neighbourhoods more sustainable than they are now. By sustainable, we mean the maintenance of the ecological health of our neighbourhoods and the provision of equitable access to affordable housing for our children. We hope that this book will be of interest to everyone; from the public officials and private developers who participate in developing and managing the urban landscape today to the secondary-school students who will shoulder these responsibilities tomorrow. This book includes four different designs for the same 400-acre site in Surrey, British Columbia, each design having been produced by a team of architects and landscape architects, working 'en charrette.'
