Maple Tree's Newest Releases Announced!
Coming this fall! Great new books by Jan Thornhill, Keltie Thomas, Frieda Wishinsky, and Rona Arato!
Jan Thornhill takes a comprehensive look at what we eat and where it all comes from in Who Wants Pizza?, a follow-up book to her critically acclaimed I Found a Dead Bird and This Is My Planet.
Keltie Thomas continues her popular How Sports Works series with How Football Works, which gives kids a behind-the-dressing-room-door look into the life of a pro NFL'er.
Rona Arato adds to the On a Day Story Voyages series (which already includes On a Canadian Day) with On a Medieval Day. These nine stories give kids a glimpse into what life was like in the Middle Ages - all over the world!
Frieda Wishinsky whisks her well-known time travelers, Emily and Matt, off on another adventure in the Canadian Flyer series with Make It Fair! This time it's off to Winnipeg to meet Nellie McClung and help the suffragettes with their cause.
