This and that

Last weekend I met up with Matthew in Toronto. He is an elementary school teacher and part of his job is being the librarian. On Thurs and Friday he was at a librarian conference (I know, sounds like it would have been wild - haha). But he picked up some very cool books from Another Story Bookshop (they are located in Toronto - but I think you can find most of these on Amazon as well) for a Black History Month Display at his school. The books are shown above and they are all kid's books. How cool that they have books about Obama for kids. The black Heritage one in the picture is about the Canadian experience - very cool as well. The ones on the left are for younger kids and the ones on the far right are simple novels for older kids. Growing up I don't remember seeing these kinds of books in my school, what a neat find.

I was talking about finishing the book "Three cups of tea" a few posts back...well isn't this cool they have a children's version of the novel (top right) and a version for younger kids (top left picture book).We went to the "Another Story Bookshop" after so I could check it out and I was in heaven! So many books on social issues, diversity, different cultures and customs - for kids and adults. Above are the ones I picked out and bought. The Nelson Mandela one on the right is a book of African Tales for Kids, the book about becoming a Canadian was also very neat. 'This is the dream' was my favourite find. Checking out the Art Gallery of Ontario.
