Wild Trails to the Sea
A tender and lyrical story celebrating the natural world and our place within it, Wild Trails to the Sea follows a coastal family as seasons change and children grow. With a hopeful refrain, a parent shares their dreams for their young ones, urging them to pay attention to every bit of magic the world has to offer.
The debut children's picture book by celebrated Halifax-based editor and author Penelope Jackson, Wild Trails to the Sea is a love letter to the earth, the sky, and the sea -- and to their future stewards.

My Mom Has Feeling Too
Through the eyes of a child, follow the real-life drama of a mom's day to day. Through intimate, hand-cut cut paper collage, watch her dance, hear her shout (very loud), feel a tender embrace, and celebrate a grand accomplishment. All alongside her little one, who gains new awareness of the complex and caring person she calls Mom.
