Books by Canadians for Canada Day Featured Image

Hello everyone and for those Canadians out there, happy Canada Day! With everyone going on right now I know we can’t really get out to celebrate. So instead while you are relaxing, instead take a gander at these three books that have Canadian authors! I tried to get a variety of books including: middle grade, diverse authors, different genres and more recent releases. So let’s jump right in!


Nevers Book CoverNevers- Sara Cassidy

Resourceful fourteen-year-old Odette is on the move again, traveling as a stowaway on a cheese cart with her hapless mother, Anneline. They are in Burgundy, France, in 1799, fleeing yet another calamity caused by Anneline (who is prone to killing people accidentally). At dawn they find themselves in a town called Nevers, which is filled with eccentric characters, including a man who obsessively smells hands, another who dreams of becoming a chicken and a donkey that keeps the town awake at night, braying about his narrow life. As Odette establishes a home in an abandoned guardhouse, she makes a friend in the relaxed Nicois and finds work as a midwife’s assistant. She and Nicois uncover a mystery that may lead to riches and, more important for Odette, a sense of belonging.

 So what did you think of the three books that I recommended to read on Canada Day? (or any day really). If none of those are your cup of tea I have more recommendations here. Please purchase a book (or request at the library) written by any Canadian author today. Particularly books that feature diverse characters and/or are written by diverse or minority authors. I hope all of you Canadians out there have a happy Canada Day! I’m off to go do some reading of my own.
