Day You Begin
There are many reasons to feel different. Maybe it's how you look or talk, or where you're from; maybe it's what you eat, or something just as random. It's not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it. Other students laugh when Rigoberto, an immigrant from Venezuela, introduces himself but later, he meets Angelina and discovers that he is not the only one who feels like an outsider.
Glooscap Tales
Bilingual edition-English and French. Considered by many tribes and peoples to be the fountainhead of all good things, it is in his honor that the aboriginal peoples of this land "smoke the pipe of peace." To many of the eastern woodland tribes he was the Son of God. This book is dedicated to the Wabanaki/Maliseet Myths and Legends of Creation which have been passed down by oral tradition from one generation to the next for thousands of years
Africville
Africville. À quoi ressemblait la communauté ? Des maisons aux couleurs vives, logées dans la colline ; des champs où les garçons jouaient au football ; un étang où les enfants faisaient du radeau; la pêche en abondance; des immenses feux de joie-- La jeune fille sort de sa rêverie ; elle visite le parc historique actuel et le cadran solaire où le nom de son arrière-grand mère est gravé dans la pierre, et célèbre un jour d'été aux retrouvailles annuelles d'Africville.
