Small Press Saturday: Nimbus Publishing
We are heading out to the east coast of Canada today to say “hello” to Nimbus Publishing. This independent press is the largest English-language publisher east of Toronto and specializes in content relevant to the Atlantic provinces. Which does not mean that their books are not of interest outside of the Atlantic provinces…
Small Press Saturday: Tyche Books
Last weekend, we put out a call for small press recommendations and I am happy that this week features one of those recommendations for our weekly Small Press Saturday post. This weekend we are spotlighting an Alberta small press – say hello to Tyche Books!
Small Press Saturday: Annick Press
Happy Saturday! It’s Small Press Saturday, the Canadian Children’s Book Week edition!
We are wrapping up our celebration of Canadian Children’s Book Week and I figured it would be a great time to introduce you to Canadian Children’s Publisher Annick Press.
Canadian children’s books are a bit of everything!
Yay, it’s Friday! And even though it has been exciting to celebrate Canadian Children’s Book Week, it’s still Friday and we here at the Butterflies & Aliens Library are feeling it. So for our next-to-last post for the week, we present a bit of a random selection of children’s books by Canadians. But, really, isn’t that part of the beauty of Canadian children’s books? They do include a bit of everything!
Canada includes other realms too…
For our third instalment in celebration of Canadian Children’s Book Week 2021, I’ve pulled four children’s and YA novels by three different authors off my To Be Read pile. And I must confess, they’ve been on my TBR pile a fair while. But they continue to call to me because they all promise to transport me to other realms, passports to mental travels yet to come. Canada also includes fantasy worlds and alternate realities!
Canadians reading Canada
For our second post in celebration of Canadian Children’s Book Week 2021, I’ve picked three books written by Canadian Women that are set in Canada. Because sometimes, when I read Canadian, I actually want to read about Canada and Canadian people in Canadian places.
Canadian Children’s Book Week 2021
This week is Canadian Children’s Book Week, celebrating Canadian children’s authors, illustrators, and storytellers! A program of the Canadian Children’s Book Centre (CCBC), Canadian Children’s Book Week 2021 features virtual readings and other events all across Canada.
Small Press Saturday: Dottir Press
We are wrapping up Women’s History Month and heading south of the Canadian border again this week so I can introduce you to Dottir Press! Dottir Press was founded in 2017 by Jennifer Baumgardner, who is no stranger to feminism or publishing.
Happy I Read Canadian Day 2021!
Today is a day of celebration across our country, a celebration of Canadian books for young people. People across the nation are being challenged to Read Canadian for 15 minutes and to share their experience. We are celebrating by sharing a small photo gallery of some our personal copies of Canadian books for young readers, and a video from Marty Chan!
Small Press Saturday: Erewhon Books
Happy Small Press Saturday! This week we showcase a small press that has only been around since 2018: Erewhon Books, a small independent Canadian press that focuses on novel-length works of speculative fiction.
Small Press Saturday: Orca Book Publishers
