One of the novels on Alberta's banned book list is The Lesser Blessed by @richardvancamp.bsky.social. We've shared some of Richard's words about what this book has meant to him, and we hope that they will be cause for reflection about what is going on in the province.

Book cover for The Mother, a graphic memoir by Rachel Deutsch (Douglas & McIntyre), with a cartoon woman on a circus swing dropping a baby bottle and pacifier. A raw and honest, harrowing and humorous journey into the dualities of modern motherhood in graphic memoir form. New Yorker cartoonist Rachel Deutsch desperately wanted a baby, yet she was fearful of actually being pregnant and having one. She lurched into a new identity and then missed her old one. She loved her new baby fiercely, but yearned for her previous relationship with her partner, as sleepless nights revealed the cracks below the surface of their relationship. Funny, provocative, visually striking and unabashedly candid, The Mother offers empathy and laughs to new and seasoned parents, encouraging readers to embrace the unexpected depths of feeling, wildness, weirdness and love that come with the territory. https://douglas-mcintyre.com/collections/new-releases/products/9781771624329 Book cover for Inuit Inngiusingit: A Collection of Inuit Choral Music II by Dr. Mary Piercey-Lewis, illustrated by Sydney Barnes (Inhabit Media), with two Inuit women facing each other. Inuit Inngiusingit: A Collection of Inuit Choral Music II is a practical music educational tool centred around choral singing in Inuktitut. This performance-based songbook is perfect for classroom students (ages eight and above) and the teachers who guide them. Through active participation, students develop as expressive musicians and experience the thrill of musical and cultural discovery through artistic performance. This songbook includes contemporary and traditional Inuit music from Canada’s Arctic region. Inuit popular music from Susan Aglukark and The Jerry Cans, Inuit folk music from Looee Arreak and The Uvagut Band, and traditional Inuit a-ja-ja songs and throat songs are part of this collection. https://inhabitmedia.com/2022/06/07/inuit-inngiusingit-a-collection-of-inuit-choral-music-ii/

If you’re a parent or teacher, this is a great book to help kids understand politics.

Thank you @ms-trippingonair.bsky.social and @douglasmcintyre.bsky.social for the opportunity to read this excellent book! I was diagnosed with MS around the same time as Ardra and I loved learning more about her life through her funny and engaging writing style.

Cover of Fall-osophy: My Trip through Life with MS, a memoir by Ardra Sheppard. Below the title there is a drawing of a woman in a black dress. She is shown from shoulders down as though she has fallen with her feet in the air. One foot is wearing heels. The other foot is bare and the shoe has fallen off. Above the title is a drawing of a cane. Background of cover is pink, orange and green. Quote in the top corner “Bright, and spilling over with insight” -Rebecca Taussig author of Sitting Pretty
