The Little Girl From Osoyoos
by
Pearlene Clunis and Devon Clunis
Encouraging readers to embrace the diversity of people in their community and world, The Little Girl from Osoyoos tells the story of a child living in small-town Canada who is exposed to the diversity of the world's cultures by visitors from across the globe, while also learning to appreciate Canada's Indigenous culture. Ultimately, she realizes that although clothing, language, and food preferences may differ, the important, defining aspects of humanity are shared by all. This delightful and engaging story will challenge readers of all ages to welcome and celebrate new friends from all over the world. It’s the second in a series of children’s books that will build an understanding of contemporary social issues, leading to an aware and sensitive generation of young adults.
Pearlene and Devon Clunis, authors of The Little Boy from Jamaica, are passionate about diversity and inclusion. They have spoken at numerous events, and as they shared Pearlene’s childhood stories, they realized that The Little Girl from Osoyoos would be a fitting follow-up to their first book. They reside in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, but travel extensively for speaking engagements and pleasure.
