Age (years) 4 - 8 Celebrated, bestselling creator Peter H. Reynolds brings his signature touch of love and kindness to this special, timely picture book, as families now, more than ever, are rediscovering and reevaluating what means the most: time together with one another. JUVENILE FICTION / Family / Multigenerational Violet longs for the time when her family was connected: before life, distractions, and technology pulled them all away from each other. They used to gather at the table, with food and love, to make memories, share their lives, and revel in time spent together. But now her family has been drifting apart, and with nobody to gather around it, the table grows smaller and smaller. Can Violet remind her family of the warmth of time spent together, and gather around the table once more? A mystical fable that feels at once timeless and utterly of the present moment, Our Table is renowned, bestselling creator Peter H. Reynolds at his best. Exquisite, expressive watercolor tells a tender story, growing from monochrome into luscious, joyful color as Violet's family is reunited around the beloved table. An ode to traditions that unite families, Our Table brings readers together with a universal message of gratitude. 9781338783636 Love You By Heart English by Peter H. Reynolds , Peter H.

  • Big Blue Forever by Anita Miettunen
    Hackmatack 2019 Big Blue Forever by Anita Miettunen Big Blue Forever is inspired by the true story of how a blue whale skeleton found on a remote beach in PEI was shipped across the country and reassembled for permanent display at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum in Vancouver. This unique Canadian adventure story includes intriguing facts about blue whales and their environment, and the fascinating process that museums go through to uncover, prepare, and reassemble skeletons for display. Blue whales are the largest animals ever to have lived on earth. When I first met Big Blue at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, I was awestruck by her enormous size. I wondered about her life in the wild. How exactly did she end up in the museum? I decided to write Big Blue Forever to tell the story of how the blue whale skeleton got to the museum and to raise awareness about this remarkable species that is still endangered. Thematic Links: Marine Mammals Ocean Environments Endangered Species Science Careers Environment/Conservation Activity Ideas: What kinds of things can we all do to help protect nature and the environment? Make a list of ideas. Nature is full of amazing cycles and processes. Can you think of some natural cycles that happen in your own backyard, garden, or outdoor areas in your neighbourhood?
