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.

This early reader titled Willa the Werewolf by Michele McAvoy publisher Little Press Publishing was a blast to draw. I have a love of pigs now. A very cute story about a pig werewolf.
