In the Silence I Found Myself
by Stephanie Mikki Adams
When I finally sat still long enough to listen, I realized that silence isn’t emptiness; it’s truth. It’s where the spirit breathes, where wounds begin to close, and where the pieces of who we are start to find their way back home. Born in the quiet spaces between grief and healing, chaos and clarity, In the Silence, I Found Myself is a powerfully evocative collection of poetry that gives strong and resonant voice to the lived experiences of Canada’s Inuit and other Indigenous peoples. For generations, they’ve been forced into silence by cruelly indifferent colonizers and the governmental-policy makers who have refused to listen to any voices but their own. But in that silence, there is strength. There is healing. And there is hope.

Blue Light
The Highs and Lows of a Spirited Life in Poetry and Prose by Harvey Puppi
Blue Light is a collection of found poetry, lyrics, stories, and diary entries that chronicles the life, creativity, and soul of a complex man. In writing that is vulnerable, witty, and profound, Harvey bares his heart and soul on the page as he delves into the themes of his Italian family roots, childhood memories, friendships, passions, demons, losses, and loves. These are but some of the intertwined threads that shaped Harvey, the golden boy whose childhood traumas eventually led him to seek solace in alcohol and drugs. His substance use rapidly escalated to a dependency on opioids, in all available forms, that almost took his life on several occasions. In his own words, we hear the voice of a man expressing the darkness of despair and the blue-light elation at finding sobriety. This deeply moving, personal history is one which everyone struggling with the helplessness and the shame that shrouds addiction can relate to and find hope.

Along the way, they learn that solving a mystery takes more than smarts. It takes teamwork, trust, and a little bit of bravery.

Look and Find The Shapes of Israel
by Shauna Small
A square challah cover. A round kippa. A delicious triangular hamantaschen cookie! Everywhere we look, we can find exciting shapes. Just as shapes are basic concepts that young children learn, an understanding of Jewish identity and a connection to the Jewish people must begin at a young age. The Shapes of Israel brings that connection to readers through an educational scavenger hunt to find shapes and colours while learning about Israel and the Jewish people. This book will help children internalize their sense of belonging to the Jewish nation as they learn about their strong bond and historical connection to the Land of Israel. Children can connect to the different ways that being Jewish is experienced and foster a sense of pride in their Jewish identity.
