Tuk and the Whale

By Raquel Rivera

This story is set on the eastern coast of Baffin Island in the early decades of the 1600s. Told from the point of view of a young Inuit boy, Tuk, it imagines what might have happened if the people of Tuk's Baffin Island winter camp had encountered European whalers, blown far north from their usual whaling route.

Girl from Mars

By Tamara Bach
Translated by Shelley Tanaka

Miriam is fifteen and has lived in the same little town her whole life. But now she's in high school and wishing she lived in a big city where she could meet new people and see new things. When she meets a new classmate suddenly life is complicated and unsettling and she finds herself second-guessing every move she makes. Will everything become clear? Or will Miriam suddenly find herself living on another planet?

The Black Book of Colors
By Menena Cottin
Illustrated by Rosana Faría

It is hard for a sighted person to imagine what it is like to be blind. Universally praised for its unique and innovative approach, The Black Book of Colors endeavours to convey the experience of a person who can only see through his or her sense of touch, taste, smell, or hearing. Raised black line drawings on black paper, which can be deciphered by touch, complement a beautifully written text describing colours through imagery. Braille letters accompany the text so that the sighted reader can begin to imagine what it is like to use Braille to read. A full Braille alphabet at the end of the book can be used to learn more. A special edition of the book with Braille-punched parchment is available for the blind.
