Technically a food bank set up like a store
Located at 1881 Broad St. in Regina, Sask

Handle with Care by Louisa Reid (Guppy Books UK). Gorgeous, evocative prose. Two teen girls experience the same gut wrenching events from their own POV. I feel Ruby's pain so much, it might as well be my own. A powerful book, written responsibly. #YA

Absolutely. Not only is Franklin a Canadian treasure, he is a responsible, compassionate turtle.
The creator of the Franklin the Turtle children's books is Canadian author (and Carleton University Journalism graduate) Paulette Bourgeois. She may wish to rev up her copyright infringement lawyers just for starters.

I extend my condolences to those who have suffered loss of life, friends, family, and health because of the UPS plane crash. Folks were just going about their business, supporting their families, doing the foundational work we all depend on. 💔 #RIP
