Cornforth, Suzanne Chickabiddy: The Bird Who Saved the World
Chelsea, Quebec Chelsea Books 2007 978-0-9781602-3 Trade Paperback New
The story should appeal to readers - adolescents and adults - who want more from a book than entertainment. All that is required is that they be open-minded and ready to enjoy a little bird's musings about its youth and a recent overwhelming adventure. Part fantasy, part fable-parable, it is a light-hearted but serious and timely look at various topics such as God, Nature, creation and evolution, social and spiritual values, religion, ethics and more. Fast-paced, easy to read, thought-provoking, controversial at times but never aggressive or irreverent or preachy, it is meant to encourage private reflection or incite discussion on people's beliefs and behaviours, beyond preconceived ideas they may never have challenged.

Jenkins, Phil River Song: Sailing the History of the St. Lawrence
Chelsea, Quebec Chelsea Books 2007 0670880094 / 9780670880096 Trade Paperback New
From River Song: "...On the surface, the river flows one way, underneath are two currents, one of economy and one of poetry. Food for the table, and food for the soul. Four hundred beluga whales and ten thousand ships a year ply the same waters, and rituals of business are performed on the same altar as rituals of beauty. Nine different species of whale, living in smoggy, toxic water, have become profitable tourist destinations, while birchbark canoes have grown into sixty-thousand-ton freighters. This matriarchal river, the headwater of the country's flowing past, has borne the bulk of Canada's history - and history, as a historian once said, is just one damn thing after another."
