Where the Waters Meet
She lives outside the village, in the woods, near the river, with her sister. Or her mother. She doesn't really know. Her life is simple, but nothing ever stays the same. Her body is changing; life around her is changing, too. And there aren't many people around who can explain to her what's happening. A story with a sombre offbeat mood, guided along by a narrator using unique and colourful language. Originally published by Québec-Amérique as À l'abri des hommes et des choses
Riley Can't Stop Crying
★ “Insightfully emotional...A poignant, purposeful depiction of a family learning to recognize, confront, and heal internal struggles with self-love and self-worth. Children in need of encouragement will find comforting revelations about the value of individuality.”—School Library Journal, starred review Riley is inconsolable. He can’t stop crying and nothing is making him feel better. His sister, Regina, tries her best to help him figure out what’s wrong, but four-year-old Riley isn't sure. It’s not his tummy, or his head, or the monsters under the bed. Regina and their dad try everything they can to make Riley smile, but nothing works until one day Regina has an idea. Maybe it’s Riley that is making Riley upset. Regina knows what it feels like to be uncomfortable in her body, but she also knows that she’s pretty amazing and really good at a lot of things. So how can she help Riley see that he’s pretty amazing and really good at a lot of things? A charming story about a child’s search for his true self under the compassionate eye of his older sister.

Le réseau des cégeps : trajectoires de réussites
A l'occasion du 50e anniversaire de la fondation des cégeps, l'Association des cadres des collèges du Québec, en collaboration avec la Fédération des cégeps, s'est donné pour mission de produire un volume soulignant cette étape importante de la vie de ce réseau d'établissements. Un réseau qui se distingue par sa pertinence, son originalité, son apport à l'épanouissement des personnes qui le fréquentent et son leadership dans le développement de la société qu'il dessert. Le titre du volume, Le réseau des cégeps : trajectoires de réussites, exprime le caractère dynamique et festif de la démarche qui vise à souligner le nombre impressionnant de contributions et d'avancées issues du réseau collégial, à situer celui-ci au sein des principaux défis et enjeux qui le concernent dans le présent et à dégager des éléments de prospectives ouverts à la discussion. Ce sont plus d'une soixantaine d'auteurs qui ont uni leurs talents, leurs compétences et leurs expériences pour célébrer le réseau dont ils ont, d'une façon ou d'une autre, contribué au développement, véritable clé de voûte de l'enseignement supérieur au Québec.

Lost Land of the Dodo
The Mascarene islands in the southern Indian Ocean - Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues - were once home to an extraordinary range of birds and reptiles. Evolving on these isolated volcanic islands in the absence of mammalian predators or competitors, the land was dominated by giant tortoises, parrots, skinks and geckos, burrowing boas, flightless rails & herons, and of course (in Mauritius) the Dodo. Uninhabited and only discovered in the 1500s, colonisation by European settlers in the 1600s led to dramatic changes in the ecology of the islands; the birds and tortoises were slaughtered indiscriminately while introduced rats, cats, pigs and monkeys destroyed their eggs, the once-extensive for...
