Good morning! Bonjour! Tanisi! Spend a day in Canada. Eat soft crepes with sticky maple syrup, play with atimwak in the snow and cache-cache in the park, and zip and zoom around the ice rink.

About the author

Melanie Florence has been writing full-time since 2010 and has written a bunch of books, but she's probably best known for her picture books, Missing Nimama and Stolen Words, which won the 2016 TD Canadian Children's Literature Award and the 2018 Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children's Book Award respectively. In her spare time, Melanie plays guitar, reads manga, collects vinyl, listens to really loud rock music and slightly quieter K-pop, gets tattoos, and drinks too much coffee. She lives in Toronto with her family.

Carey Sookocheff is a Toronto-based illustrator with a love for children's books. From an early age, Carey was often found drawing, sometimes on scraps of paper from her dad's office or even on the underside of the kitchen table. She pursued her love of both storytelling and illustration, earning degrees in English Literature and Illustration. Since 2015, she has illustrated more than a dozen picture books, including five self-authored titles. In addition to her illustration work, Carey teaches part-time in the Bachelor of Illustration program at Sheridan College.
