A moving #OwnVoices poetry collection written by young newcomers to Canada. Carry On began in a high school in Outremont, Quebec, where author and poet Simon Boulerice conducted creative-writing workshops for young newcomers to Canada. As the students began writing, their poems gave voice to their reflections on leaving family, friends, and countries of origin to make new homes and connections in their new home, Canada. Paired with expressive portraits by award-winning artist Roge, each young writer reflects on the experience of leaving one home for another. The collection of poems express feelings of anxiety, sorrow, anticipation, gratitude, and hope for the future. With thoughtful verse and evocative illustrations, Carry On is a tribute to human resilience, the voices of newcomers, and creating empathy for all those who wonder about their place in the world. AGES: 9 to 12 AUTHOR: Roge Girard is the illustrator of more than twenty books for kids, and the recipient of several awards, including a Governor General's Award for illustration in 2006 for The Big Monster Who Loved Reading Too Much, a New York Times book award, and many more. He divides his time between the Magdalen Islands and Montreal, Quebec.

Industry Reviews

"Carry On not only gives the metaphorical microphone to those
with lived experiences, but also reinforces the idea that an immigrant
or refugee doesn't look a certain way."-- "The Tiny Activist"
