Book cover for This Big Heart by Lindsay Ruck, ill. by Bria Miller (Delmore “Buddy” Daye Learning Institute): Dealing with the many emotions that come with grief isn’t always easy. This rhyming picture book reminds us that we feel so much because we love so much. https://dbdli.ca/resource-materials/this-big-heart/
Book cover for The Perfect Day and Other Stories by Harry Bruce (Pottersfield Press): Bruce’s writing has inspired critics to call him no less than “a consummate storyteller”; to marvel over his “magnetic style and marvelous command of the language”; to declare his prose “highly entertaining and gloriously informative”; and to insist that “only the spiritually dead or terminally obtuse could fail to come away from it richer for the experience.” And now, The Perfect Day and Other Stories offers the best of Bruce’s best essays. From the sweet pain of first love and leaving home to the horrors of killer wasps, bloodthirsty flies, and marauding mice, from the relief experienced in every outhouse in the pines to the joy resounding from neighbourhood curling on a Scottish laird’s frozen pond, from the magic mist that sneaks into a ghost village on an abandoned island off Lunenburg to the sheer glory that parades of tall ships grant to great ports around the world, from fogs, bats, cats, and coyotes to the whales, thrones, stags, and steeples that make Atlantic Canada unique…they’re all here, and more, in Harry’s latest collection. https://nimbus.ca/store/the-perfect-day-and-other-stories.html
