We’ve partnered with the Wood Buffalo Regional Library to ask local social organizations for their best book recommendations to help parents talk to their kids about a wide range of subjects from Grief and Loss to Inclusivity, Mental Health to Addictions, Racism to Autism and a whole lot more.

A huge thanks to the local organizations that have provided book lists for the project including:

Some Other Solutions

Waypoints

Canadian Mental Health Association

Pride YMM

Autism Society

McMan Youth, Family and Community

Pastew Place

The Library is dedicating a special spot on their website for parents to check out the lists then check out the books 😃

It’s a cool idea but now we have to find a way to include kids and art!!!

In our colouring books, available in restaurants and business in the Wood Buffalo area, are bookmark pages. We would love for kids to create their own bookmark designs!

Send us a picture of the different designs and cool creations that your kids come up with! We’ll have local judges select some of their favourite images to be copied, laminated and distributed around our neighbourhoods!

On the back of each bookmark will be the QR code linking to the booklists on the library’s website!

Thank you to Abby F. for the three bookmarks we’re using on our website!!! 😃
