This book was adapted in collaboration with The Royal Canadian Legion and 24 Veterans from across Canada.

This book is suitable for preschool children to 12-year-olds and employs a unique dual narrative style that uses poetic rhythm and rhyme alongside historic images, and a more mature illustration style and more detailed text to engage older children.

This book explores ways we remember and commemorate service during war and peacetime, so it makes a great resource for Remembrance Day. It explores our Canadian history, and teaches empathy, critical thinking and pride for our service members and their sacrifices – including the contributions of all of Canada’s diverse population.

Disco roller skating animals is a blast from the past. Oh back in the 80s, every Friday night was roller skating with the gang. I guess these are my friends and a few stangers we skated with back in the day. Illustration created with watercolour scans and Photoshop.
