Join us Saturday, March 30 for Canadian Independent Bookstore Day!

Buy local best-selling author Jean E. Pendziwol's new book now!
Available this April! Jean E. Pendziwol has written a charming story-poem that looks at silence and stillness as an opportunity for the imagination and creativity to flourish. Carmen Mok’s magical illustrations flow from one spread to the next like animation, in a palette inspired by vintage printmaking.
