This beautifully illustrated book is deeply heartwarming and beautiful. It's full of hope and happiness and might leave you with teary eyes. To read under a blanket on chilly summer nights! 

Elise gravel and Melissa Mollen Dupuis' book, Nutshimit, is a very funny and educative picture book about indigenous culture and its appreciation for nature and the forest. It's deeply entertaining, as are most of Elise Gravel's books, and I would suggest reading it on a camping trip ! 

The Song That Called Them Home is a magical book inspired by an indigenous legend about the Memekwesewak. This fascinating story is accompanied by very captivating illustrations. To read around a campfire or near the water! 

I enjoyed reading Yellowface so much! It's a captivating novel about the universe of writing and publishing that covers themes like racial bias, cultural appropriation and white fragility. Kuang once again provides us with a nuanced and hilarious page turner. To bring with you on a long car, bus, or train ride!

One of my favourite reads this year, Forough Farrokhzad's collection of poems is absolutely breathtaking and thoughtfully curated. Perfect to read in the last few weeks of summer or during the fall. :)
