See p.20 for the rest of the Holocaust 

Remembrance Series for Young Readers 

In the spring of 2000, Fumiko Ishioka, the curator of 

a small Holocaust education centre in Tokyo, received 

a shipment from the Auschwitz museum which 

included an empty suitcase marked “Hana Brady, 

May 16, 1931, Orphan”. Fumiko and the children at 

the centre decided to find out what became of Hana. 

The heartbreaking story they uncovered of a brave 

young girl killed in the Holocaust and survived only 

by her brother was captured in Karen Levine’s book 

that the world took into its heart. 

The response since Hana’s Suitcase was published in 

the spring of 2002 has been overwhelming. Hana’s 

story has spread across the globe. It’s been translated 

into dozens of languages, honored with numerous 

awards, adapted for the stage, and transformed into 

several films. The UN uses it in over 100 outposts, 

Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote a foreword, and 

Michelle Obama was presented with a copy during 

an official visit to Prague. To commemorate the 

tenth anniversary, this new book includes: 

• Commemorative letters from Karen, Fumiko, and George 

• Reaction from readers around the world 

• Letters and art from children 

• Photographs of events and ceremonies 

• Scenes from the play adaptation 

• Posters from the staging of the play in over ten countries 

• Awards and Tributes – lists, emblems, photos, more quotable 

quotes from juries and the media 

• Covers from the international editions 

• Images from the documentary film 

and much more

Rachel’s Secret 

By Shelly Sanders 

Rachel, a Jew, and Sergei, a Christian, find their worlds torn apart by 

violence in pre-Revolutionary Russia 

Inspired by real events 

themes: european history, pogroms, jewish-christian relations 


SHELLY SANDERS has worked as a freelance writer 

for almost 20 years. Topics she’s covered include mental 

and physical disorders, environmentally friendly design, 

and real estate trends. With an honors degree in English 

and a degree in journalism, she is now working on a 

certificate in creative writing. Shelly lives in Toronto 

with her husband, three children, two dogs, and two 

lizards. 

Rachel is a Jew living in Kishinev, Russia. At 

fourteen, Rachel knows that she wants more from 

life than the traditional role of wife and mother. She 

has dreams of being a writer. But everything is put 

on hold when a young Christian man is murdered 

and Rachel is forced to keep the murderer’s identity 

a secret. Tensions mount as the Christians’ distrust of 

the Jews is fueled by prejudice and rumor. 

While Rachel keeps the truth to herself, she watches 

as lies and anti-Jewish propaganda leap off the 

pages of the local newspaper, inciting Christians to 

riot against the Jews. Violence breaks out on Easter 

Sunday, 1903, and when it finally ends, Rachel finds 

that the person she loves most is dead and that her 

home has been destroyed. As she struggles to survive 

the aftermath of the riots – or pogroms – support 

comes from someone totally unexpected, when a 

young Christian named Sergei turns against his 

father, a police officer complicit in the riots, to help 

Rachel. 

With everything against them, the two young people 

find comfort in the bond that is growing between 

them, one of the few signs of goodness and hope in a 

time of chaos and violence.

Yesterday’s Dead 

by Pat Bourke 

Meredith struggles to cope during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 


PAT BOURKE is a freelance business writer and editor 

whose previous careers included strategy consultant and 

high school math teacher. She is a member of the Board 

of Directors of the Tippet Foundation, a charitable 

foundation that funds not-for-profit arts, education, 

and community organizations primarily in the Greater 

Toronto Area. She lives in Toronto with her husband, 

and children. 

Thirteen-year-old Meredith yearns to become a 

teacher but must leave school to help support her 

family. To find the best paying job for a young girl 

of her social class, she travels to the city to work as 

household help in a doctor’s home. From the start, 

her life is made difficult by the cantankerous and 

prickly butler, and confrontations with Maggie, the 

doctor’s spoiled thirteen-year-old daughter. 

As the deadly Spanish Flu sweeps across the city, 

members of the household fall ill one by one. With 

the doctor working night and day at the hospital, 

only Meredith, Maggie, and Jack, Maggie’s handsome 

older brother, are left to care for them. Every day 

the newspapers’ lists of “Yesterday’s Dead” add to 

Meredith’s growing fears. 

When Jack becomes gravely ill, Meredith must stop 

fighting with Maggie so they can work together 

to save him. As Meredith wrestles with questions 

of duty and responsibility, she opens the door to a 

future that she thought had been closed forever.

Support the Girls Bra Art for Breast Health 

Compiled by the West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation 

Can a book about breast health be both beautiful and funny? This one is. 

When the women from a community in Central 

Ontario needed to raise funds to buy a mammogram 

machine for the local hospital, it wasn’t laughter that 

led them to the “Art Bra” project. More likely, it 

was the fear of breast cancer and the need for early 

detection that motivated them. But the result is full 

of fun and whimsy, as people from across the country 

responded to their call to craft an “art bra,” sending 

in their creations along with the stories behind them. 

You will smile at the bras that have been turned 

into works of art, with names like “Got Milk,” 

“Lucky Charms,” “Go, Girls, Go,” and “Cradles of 

Civilizations.” The book showcases over fifty bras, 

with accompanying personal stories that celebrate 

the curative power of laughter. Even hockey greats 

Bobby Orr and Sidney Crosby have gotten into the 

act by signing “sports bras.” 


the “bra-artistas” are an eclectic group inspired 

by the whimsy of the project and stirred by the cause 

of women’s breast health. They started with two brave 

women who wore two specially crafted art-bras at an 

International Women’s Retreat in Northern Canada, to 

the joy of the more than 100 women in the audience. 

After this event, witty Art-bras began to pour into the 

West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation from 

across the country, and eventually around the world. 

The bras come from a community of breast cancer 

sufferers and survivors, health care workers, friends, 

and family. These bra “artists” will inspire you and 

move you to tears – both of laughter and sadness. 

Their creations and the stories behind them, bring 

a sense of lightness and hope to an all-too serious 

problem. 

A portion of the proceeds from every sale will 

benefit breast cancer research.

book’s Mother’s Day publication

Writing the Revolution 

by Michele Landsberg 

The Feminist History Project’s Collected Columns of Michele Landsberg 

One of the most respected voices in Canadian 

feminism, two-time National Newspaper Awardwinning 

journalist Michele Landsberg has engaged 

with the women’s movement more than any other 

writer in the country. Her opinions, always careful 

and sometimes controversial, have mattered to 

women’s lives. 

For 25 years, between 1978 to 2005, Michele wrote 

a highly influential column in The Toronto Star, 

recording and interpreting history from the front 

lines of the feminist movement. In this volume, 

Michele brings us a collection of her favorite columns. 

With her trademark blend of kindness, toughness, 

bluntness and humor, she reflects on when she was 

right, when she was wrong, what was happening 

behind the scenes, and what has happened since. 


Michele Landsberg began her career with The 

Globe and Mail in the 1960s. She joined Chatelaine 

Magazine in the 1970s, under the editorship of leading 

feminist Doris Anderson. She is the author of three 

best-selling books: Women and Children First, Michele 

Landsberg’s Guide to Children’s Books and “This is New 

York, Honey!”. She continues her work as an activist, 

and is a regular reviewer of children’s literature on CBC 

Radio. Michele lives in Toronto with her husband, 

Stephen Lewis, and their family. 

The Feminist History Society is a project of 

the Women’s Education and Research Foundation of 

Ontario Incorporated. 

“Ms. Landsberg’s forum provided a much-needed voice 

for those among us who could not speak up nor out … 

on issues of gender and equality. We counted on her 

to speak for us, to lobby politicians and various grand 

poobahs of big biz alike; and, to her everlasting credit, 

Ms. Landsberg never disappointed us.” 

—Judith Fitzgerald for The Globe and Mail 

“It’s easy to see how Landsberg inspired an entire 

generation of women – and men.”

To Hope and Back The Journey of the St. Louis 

by Kathy Kacer 

A ship carrying Jewish passengers can find no safe harbor 


Kathy Kacer has now written seven books in the 

Holocaust Remembrance Series for Young Readers, 

including The Diary of Laura’s Twin and Hiding Edith. 

Restitution: a family’s fight for their heritage lost in the 

Holocaust was her first book for adults. She has spoken 

to young people all over the world about the Holocaust. 

A former psychologist, she also talks to adults about 

how to teach sensitive material to young children. 

Kathy lives in Toronto with her family. 

Lisa and Sol board the luxury ocean liner St. Louis 

in Hamburg, Germany on May 13, 1939. Lisa and 

her family are in first class; Sol and his parents are 

below in tourist class. Both children have mixed 

feelings – they’re excited to be beginning this 

voyage to a better life, but sad to be leaving their 

old lives behind. They are Jewish, as are almost all 

of the 937 passengers on board, and although war 

has not been officially declared in Europe, the Nazis 

have been persecuting Jews for years. As the ship 

sets sail for Cuba, the atmosphere is optimistic. The 

passengers feel fortunate to have been able to buy 

landing permits, and their German captain, Gustave 

Shroeder, is determined to get them to safety. The 

captain’s voice alternates with Sol and Lisa’s, revealing 

the details they didn’t know. As Hitler’s propaganda 

machine turns Cuba against them, the mood on 

board changes to despair. The St. Louis and its Jewish 

passengers are turned away – first from Cuba, then 

the United States, and then Canada. 

“A tragic story about an historical event that deserves to 

be told, and which should provoke thoughtful discussion 

about a difficult subject.”

Shannen and the Dream for a School 

by Janet Wilson 

All children have the right to learn in a safe and positive environment 

themes: children’s rights, activism, native rights 


Janet Wilson has met with friends of Shannen 

Koostachin and was inspired to write her story. Janet 

is the author and illustrator of the picture books One 

Peace: True Stories of Young Activists and Our Earth: 

How Kids are Saving the Planet. She lives in Eden Mills, 

Ontario, a community with a strong civic focus. 

This is the true story of Shannen Koostachin and 

the people of Attawapiskat, a Cree community in 

Northern Ontario, who have been fighting for a new 

school since 1979, when a fuel spill contaminated 

their original school building. 

It is 2008, and thirteen-year-old Shannen and the 

other students at J.R. Nakogee Elementary are tired 

of attending class in portables that smell and don’t 

keep out the freezing cold winter air. They make a 

YouTube video describing the poor conditions, and 

their plea for a decent school gains them attention 

and support from community leaders and children 

across the country. Inspired, the students decide to 

turn their grade-eight class trip into a visit to Ottawa, 

to speak to the Canadian government. Once there, 

Shannen speaks passionately to the politicians about 

the need to give Native children the opportunity 

to succeed. The following summer, Shannen is 

nominated for the International Children’s Peace 

Prize. Her passion, and that of the other students, 

makes politicians stand up and take notice, and 

becomes a rallying point for the community and for 

the country. 

Shannen will never see her dream fulfilled. Tragically, 

she was killed in a car crash in 2010. Her family, 

friends, and supporters are continuing to fight and 

to honor her memory as they work for equality for 

children in communities everywhere.

Emily Included 

by Kathleen McDonnell 

Emily, born with cerebral palsy, fights for her right to go to school with her peers 

Based on a true story 

Emily Eaton was born with severe cerebral palsy. 

Denied access to classes at her local school, she 

and her parents challenged the local board of 

education in their Ontario community for her right 

to be educated with non-disabled children in a 

regular classroom. Her case went all the way to the 

Supreme Court of Canada in the late nineties and 

is considered a breakthrough for inclusive education 

for both physically and mentally challenged people. 

Emily went on to graduate from high school proving 

the skeptics wrong. 

Emily’s fight to be treated like a “normal,” everyday 

kid in a regular classroom, at a time when children 

with CP were segregated, was groundbreaking. Her 

story makes her an amazing role model for children 

everywhere – whether they are living with a disability 

or not. 

themes: disability, inclusivity, social activism 


Kathleen McDonnell is an award-winning 

author and playwright of adult and children’s literature, 

including The Notherland Journeys series – The 

Nordlings, The Shining World, and The Songweavers – 

and Honey, We Lost the Kids. Born in Chicago, Kathleen

Dear Baobab 

written by Cheryl Foggo & illustrated by Qin Leng 

Maiko knows what it is like to be small and to feel planted in the wrong place 

themes: immigration, homesickness, belonging 


Cheryl Foggo is a journalist, screenwriter, poet, and 

playwright. She has a particular interest in the history of 

Black pioneers on the prairies and has written extensively 

on that subject. Her young adult novels, One Thing That’s 

True and I Have Been in Danger were finalists for the 

Governor General’s Award and the Silver Birch Award 

respectively. She lives in Calgary. 

about the illustrator 

Qin Leng was born in Shanghai, China and lived in 

France before moving to Montreal. She always loved to 

illustrate the innocence of children and has developed a 

passion for children’s books. She now works as a designer 

and illustrator in Toronto. 

Maiko has left his village in Africa far behind, 

moving to Canada to live with his aunt and uncle. 

When he thinks of home, he thinks of the beautiful 

big baobab tree at the center of the village. In his 

new home, Maiko feels a connection to the small 

spruce tree in the front yard – it’s seven years old, 

the same age as he is. The tree sings to Maiko and 

shares his secrets. When he learns that the roots of 

the tree are growing too close to the house, putting 

the little spruce in danger of being cut down, Maiko 

tries to save it. He knows all too well what it’s like to 

be small, and planted in the wrong place. 

While Maiko tries to keep his sadness to himself, 

his aunt and uncle quickly realize that something is 

wrong. Together, they work out a solution that saves 

the tree, seeing it transported to a new forest. Just 

like Maiko, his tree will learn to grow and thrive in 

its new home. 

“A charming read that, without being too syrupy-sweet, 

offers encouragement to anyone who has ever felt they 

are in the wrong place. ... The conversations between 

Maiko and the tree are particularly superb.” 


“Maiko experiences an orphan’s loneliness and an 

immigrant’s unease but eventually finds comfort in his 

new home.” —Kirkus

The Little Yellow Bottle 

written by Angèle Delaunois & illustrated by Christine Delezenne 

War can come in the most innocent of packages 

recent releases | picture book 


Angèle Delaunois is both a children’s author and 

the founder and publisher of the Quebec-based press 

Éditions de L’Isatis. She is the author of over forty books 

for children, many of which have been translated from 

the original French. Allergic to injustice and ostracism, 

she never hesitates to tackle difficult and involved 

subjects that stimulate the intelligence of her young 

readers. She lives with her family in Montreal. 

about the illustrator 

Christine Delezenne created the images for The 

Little Yellow Bottle using a clever blend of textures, 

drawings, and collage, which makes them both current 

and timeless. In 2009, she received the Elizabeth Mrazik 

Cleaver Illustrator Prize from Ibby Canada for her 

illustrations for The Key. She lives in Montreal with her 

family. 

Marwa and Ahmad know that war has come to their 

country, but its effects are small and life in their 

village goes on as normal. Ahmad is the goal-keeper 

in their games of soccer – the best they’ve ever had. 

One day, a group of planes fly over their village, 

like angry wasps. The skies go gray, and the birds 

go quiet. They learn that the planes dropped small 

unexploded bombs all over the countryside, now 

hidden and lying in wait. 

But life goes on, and the children once again forget 

about war. Until a day when Marwa and Ahmad are 

playing, and Ahmad picks up a small yellow bottle 

he finds hidden in the grass. The resulting explosion 

will change their lives forever – leaving Marwa 

scarred, and Ahmad with only one hand and one leg. 

The scars of war will take a long time to heal – both 

those visible and those inside. But with time and 

courage, hope returns for both Marwa and Ahmad – 

who can no longer play soccer, but who has become 

the best coach they’ve ever had. 

“Delezenne’s blend of collage, drawings and 

texture juxtapose the images of war from a child’s 

perspective. They encapsulate the journey a child of 

war is forced to take. Though it begins with complete 

blackness, it can end with a winged soccer ball.”
