Description

We've all heard of amazing grown-ups from Atlantic Canada, like Joseph Howe, Joshua Slocum, or Maud Lewis—but it's about time we learned about our region's amazing kids! This fascinating, full-colour, illustrated book features over 50 amazing and diverse young people from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland and Labrador, sharing their incredible stories and accomplishments, past and present.

Among these amazing kids are boys and girls who saved lives, set sports records (Marjorie Turner Bailey), invented something (Rachel Brouwer), survived in the wilderness (Robert Kent), overcame injustice, illness, or disability (Danielle Dorris), and enacted many other inspiring deeds of courage and perseverance. Encompassing both historical and contemporary kids, Boileau shows young readers that greatness has no age limit.

Featuring a foreword by The Hon. Myra Freeman, informative sidebars, an index, and 30 original illustrations from artist James Bentley.

Amazing Atlantic Canadian Kids is an excellent non-fiction book to educate kids and adults alike of famous Canadian kids!

These kids are TALENTED, let me tell ya! I didn't know most of these stories and I was blown away. I'm super glad I picked this book up, but I kinda of wish books like this existed back in my elementary school days. Books like these would have made history way more interesting! This book includes myths of kids, stories of actual people, info about migration and more! It truly is a book for those wanting to learn.

Middle graders up to high schoolers will be the perfect audience for this book, but adults will easily be able to learn something new as well! I believe grades 6 and up would like this book, due to the complexity of the writing. But, there's nothing to say you can't have this as a bedtime read for some younger, more curious kids.

Overall this is a great non-fiction read for those avid learners!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Nimbus Publishing for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
