Hi, Owlkids Families!
I love auditing our family bookshelves to ensure they are filled with stories that represent a variety of different perspectives. It’s great to bring in new books that tell stories that are different from your own and give kids a chance to celebrate our similarities and our differences.
Looking for ways to round out your bookshelf this spring? Check out these eight amazing titles by Asian-Canadian and Asian-American authors and illustrators!
Some books our Owlkids families have been enjoying recently.
Happy reading, everyone!

February is known as Black History Month! This month we celebrate all the incredible contributions and breakthroughs that Black people have made throughout history. One way to celebrate is to read and learn about important people, past and present.

Hi Readers,
June is Indigenous History Month in Canada and June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day. It’s the perfect time to learn more about the histories and culture of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples.
A great way to learn about history is by listening to the stories of Indigenous Peoples and by reading books like Spirit Bear: Fishing for Knowledge, Catching Dreams. This book taught me so much!
Another fun way to learn about Indigenous culture is to attend a powwow, where you can watch traditional dances, see handmade regalia, arts and crafts, and try all kinds of different foods. On June 21, be sure to check out this virtual powwow put on by the Winnipeg Art Gallery!
See you at the powwow!
