The Tlingit, the Haida, and the Kwakiutl are among the hundreds of separate groups of First Peoples who have lived on the Northwest Coast of North America for thousands of years.
Children will learn how the First Peoples gathered food and other resources from the forests, rivers, and ocean. The text describes the lifestyle, beliefs, and social structure of these peoples with beautiful accompanying illustrations.
This fascinating book looks at many of the lodges, or dwellings, built and used by the aboriginal nations across the continent.
A map showing the lodges appears at the beginning of the book, and beautiful, detailed illustrations show the exteriors, interiors, and way of life in each lodge.
Many of the foods we eat, the tools we use, the games we play, and even the ideas in which we believe, originated with North American Native peoples.
Beautiful images and easy-to-follow text help young readers discover the Native traditions and practices that were adopted by European explorers, North American settlers, and other people around the world.
Bone Beds of the Badlands transports readers to the heart of dinosaur country in the most gripping and terrifying Dylan Maples Adventure yet! When the boys and their new friend Dorothy get separated from their guided tour of Dinosaur Provincial Park, they may be lost, but they’re not alone…
When Dylan arrives in the resort town of Harrison Hot Springs and meets his eccentric uncle, Walter Middy, he is pulled right into the heart of the sasquatch mystery. Before you can say, “I see a monster!”, Dylan, Walter, and their new friend Alice are deep in the wilderness, on the trail of the deadly beast.
Dylan is twelve years old and embarking on his first ocean kayaking trip with his parents. He has spent the last year convincing them that he is ready for the challenging—and very dangerous—adventure. In fact, he has been determined to go ever since he heard about the destination: Ireland’s Eye. The small island off the coast of Newfoundland is the easternmost settlement in Canada. Or it was. It is now hauntingly empty, a ghost town clinging to the edge of the unforgiving Atlantic.
After just a few hours in Bathurst, Dylan worries this will turn out to be the most boring vacation ever, but when he meets a local girl, Antonine, and the two of them witness what looks like a burning ship on the water, he begins to think that New Brunswick might be more interesting than he thought.
Just when Dylan Maples is settling down after last summer’s trip to Ireland’s Eye, the parental units are at it again—planning another family adventure. Only this time, it’s not a summer vacation, but an extended trip way up north to Cobalt, Ontario, in the middle of a bitter winter. Once a thriving silver mining community, all that’s left of the town’s rich history are the long abandoned mines.
This 160-page textbook offers a poignant and personal glimpse into the lives of 42 young immigrants, aged 8 to 25, who have made Canada their new home. Through their compelling stories, the book explores the diverse motivations that drove them to leave their native countries, shedding light on the reasons Canada was chosen as their destination.

Suitable for Grade 9 or 10 Canadian geography in any province.
Geography is much more than a collection of facts about where things are located and why they are there. Most importantly, it is a subject that connects physical and social perspectives to the study of people, places and environments. Through the use of Making Connections: Canada’s Geography, you will have an opportunity to extend your ability to see Canada and the world as a geographer does.
The thrilling sequel to Camp X, winner of the Silver Birch Award—
Jack and George have barely recovered from their ordeal in Camp X when they are relocated to Bowmanville, Ontario, where their mother has been offered a clerking job in a prisoner of war camp holding the highest ranking German officers.
Soon the boys are offered the after-school job of delivering the camp’s mail, and Canadian agents ask them to keep their eyes and ears open for possible escape plans. For, as the boys are told, it is a matter of loyalty to their homeland that the German prisoners must try to escape, even if it costs them their lives—and the lives of two boys in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Young readers will not only thrill to this exciting story, but also learn more about Canada’s own prisoner of war (POW) camp at Bowmanville and the escape attempt, a little know event in the history of Canada and WWII.
