Crescent Moon Friends introduces the reader to two best friends Amelia and Aisha. While the pair is from Canada and Afghanistan, the girls reconcile their differences through exploration of the values they share. This book initiates a family conversation about Islam, explores tradition and language, and brings the girls closer together as a result. It is our hope that the book will be used as a teaching tool to help children understand the cultural backgrounds of others, and to create a warm environment for refugees resettling in Atlantic Canada from the Middle East. This picture book is for both non- Muslims who are living in the West, and Muslims who are living outside their home countries. The focus of the book is on tradition, not religion, it also captures the significance of Islam. This is a valuable title for library and classroom use.

The Mi'kmaq people have been here since the ice began to melt over this great land. They learned the medicines in nature to keep them healthy and they hunted the animals of the land and fished the waters of the sea. During the summer months they would gather in large community groups to celebrate, dance and sing. When the cold winds started to blow, they would go off in their own little family units to survive the winter. It was a hard life and it was always a struggle to make it through the long cold winters. One thing is certain, at night, by the campfire under the stars those families would tell stories, stories about who they were, where they came from, and all the lessons they needed to learn about life. Those stories passed on traditions, songs, language and the culture of the Mi'kmaq people. Here we present to you just a couple of those stories that were passed down from generation to generation. Hear them, learn from them, experience them, but most of all enjoy them!

After a childhood reckoning with the dystopic world he was born into, Adam is now fifteen and living peacefully in the woods with other escapees from collapsed city-states. Having studied the teachings of First Nations peoples, the communities are thriving in harmony with the natural world. But recently there's a discordant note -- children are being kidnapped from some other communities; some places have been burned down. There is trouble brewing in the woods, and uncovering its source leads Adam and his friends to the most astonishing discovery of their lives. An engaging adventure and satisfying end to Hugh MacDonald's trilogy, Our Rock and Our Salvation explores community, restorative justice, and the potential for our very planet.
