Mother. Nun. Bishop. Healer. Teacher. Brother. Businesswoman. Mystic. Convert. These are titles worn by six holy Canadian men and women, now also known by the title of saint. From Canada's first teachers in the 1600s, to a simple religious brother whose prayer effected amazing miracles in the 1900s, these saints remain an example of faith and love today. St. Kateri Tekakwitha, St. Andre Bessette, St. Marie of the Incarnation, St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, St. Francois de Laval, and St. Marguerite d'Youville lived ordinary lives of great service and love to those around them. Filled with stories, word puzzles, colouring pages and more, kids will have fun exploring the lives of these holy men and women. While learning about these six saints, children will also learn about other aspects of the Catholic faith such as spiritual communion, sacramentals, mystics, the corporal works of mercy, and more. Canadian Saints Kids Activity Book is suitable for homeschools, Catholic schools, parish catechsism classes or kids clubs, and more.

The protagonist of Tobias Wolff’s shrewdly—and at times devastatingly—observed first novel is a boy at an elite prep school in 1960. He is an outsider who has learned to mimic the negligent manner of his more privileged classmates. Like many of them, he wants more than anything on earth to become a writer. But to do that he must first learn to tell the truth about himself. The agency of revelation is the school literary contest, whose winner will be awarded an audience with the most legendary writer of his time. As the fever of competition infects the boy and his classmates, fraying alliances, exposing weaknesses, Old School explores the ensuing deceptions and betrayals with an unblinking eye and a bottomless store of empathy. The result is further evidence that Wolff is an authentic American master.
