Thanks, Katherine. On Sunday, November 11 at sunset, bells across Canada will ring 100 times to commemorate 100 years since the end of the First World War. In Toronto, these Bells of Peace will ring at 4:56 p.m. https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/awards-tributes/tributes/toronto-remembers-the-wars/remembrance-day/bells-of-peace-participants/

Thank you for your comment, Marilena. Mr. Garnet shared his wartime experiences with children at Toronto Public Library and he was also a frequent speaker at schools through The Memory Project. In 2012, Sam Garnet was awarded the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for this contribution.

Excellent suggestions! Thanks, Katherine.

Jessica, thanks for sharing the post and maybe you will be inspired to share some cookies, too! :)

Thanks, Katherine. Happy gingerbread baking!

Thanks for sharing, Muriel! The children of Bergen crafted such a stunning replica of their city. Definitely worth a look.

I agree, Jessica, that Bernice Thurman Hunter’s series has wide appeal. Children, teens and adults will enjoy Booky's story as she matures from a ten-year-old girl into a young woman working at Eaton’s department store. I read the series as a young adult and then had the pleasure of meeting Bernice Thurman Hunter at a library author visit. She was as spunky and as delightful as her main character.

They certainly are, Muriel. In his foreward to O Canada, Harrison writes that "each illustration in this book has been a labour of love to portray the country for which I feel such a great affection." Ted Harrison died in 2015, but his exceptional art lives on. Thank you for your comment.

Hi Judy. I looked Go to Sleepy, Little Sheepy up online and it does look sweet. Thanks for the recommendation.

Alana, thanks for the suggestion. I have placed a hold on "How to Put Your Parents to Bed" and will share it with Little One :)

Thank you for your comment, Katherine.
