Book Description
Winner of CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal Winner of the TD Canadian Children’s Literature Award A young boy wakes up to the sound of the sea, visits his grandfather’s grave after lunch and comes home to a simple family dinner with his family, but all the while his mind strays to his father digging for coal deep down under the sea. Stunning illustrations by Sydney Smith, the award-winning illustrator of Sidewalk Flowers, show the striking contrast between a sparkling seaside day and the darkness underground where the miners dig. With curriculum connections to communities and the history of mining, this beautifully understated and haunting story brings a piece of Canadian history to life. The ever-present ocean and inevitable pattern of life in a Cape Breton mining town will enthrall children and move adult readers.

Book Description
This book is a biography of a man named Sydney Smith. He was an English wit, writer, and Anglican cleric. No English writer's opinions on early American literature had more impact than Smith's. He referred to himself as a "sincere friend of America," but this sentiment is both supported and denied by his many publications.

Book Description
The original college-dropout backpacker that started it all—this traveler’s classic is reissued here for the first time, and follows the adventures of Lee Meriwether in 1886 as he boards a steamer in Brooklyn and heads for Italy—to travel Europe on two quarters a day. Escaping a jail sentence in Italy for trying to sleep for free in the grounds of Pompeii and climbing into a volcano at midnight are just a few of the cheap adventures that Merriwether relates as he travels to Germany, Turkey, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, and England, all the while commenting on the sights he sees with an eye for social justice and his own special brand of humor.
