@ShelfieTalk A6: It's powerful to use your voice. It's for yourself, but when others see you speak up, they gain confidence, too. #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A5: Different. Economic. Backgrounds! Different backgrounds in general! Teaching students about the importance of dignity, safety, and that inequality exists in many ways. If we teach them about inequality, they know how to spot it and do something about it. #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A4: I loved the idea of having your "found family" along with your bio family. The more connections young people have to their communities and support systems, the better they are able to communicate their wants and needs. I adored the found family in this book! #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A3: Love the bit with Eden and her Gran when they're chatting about Eden's mom as a kid - how she was loud, rebellious, and got things done. It's always interesting to hear about your family members from other POVs and this serves as a great reminder. #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A2: The relationship between Eden & her mom. It's important to have parent/child relationships that aren't perfect and to understand that a parent may not have all the answers - and that's ok. It's ok to have tough conversations and to work through disagreements. #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk A1: Code Red is an inclusive powerhouse of a book - it teaches about the importance of understanding and holding space for others who may have different circumstances than you. #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A4: The empty bleachers after they sold all of their tickets but hardly anyone showed up. Heartbreaking! #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A3: In the first chapter of the book, when Judi is younger and pretends that there's a crowd chanting for her. So nice to see it happen full circle at the end of the book. #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A2: I loved the element of teamwork throughout the book - how they supported each other and how support looked different for everyone. #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A1: A graphic novel that shows the importance of the inclusion of young women in sports and how important the feeling of belonging truly is! #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A8: Brother by David Chariandy, When Stars are Scattered by Omar Mohamed, How to Pronounce Knife by Souvankham Thammavongsa.

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A6: Would make a great lesson on how few words with simple visuals can have a huge emotional impact! #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A5: I hadn't put much thought into the fact that many young people are arriving from these situations alone. Not having someone guide you through the step-by-step process during something so intimidating must be exhausting. #shelfietalk

@sonjawright Picked the same one!

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A4: Page 72, when Patricia's mom is reaching out to her in the airport as she leaves. #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A3: When Afshin's mother hands him the book full of wisdom and advice. I can't get the image out of my head of her passing the book before he leaves. #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A2: The use of space on each page. I love how empty some parts of the book are and how few colours are used! I'm so impressed with how this book looks, along with its story. #shelfietalk

[Laura Noble @MsLNoble]

@ShelfieTalk A1: A beautiful yet simplistic illustrated book about three young people and their stories about finding refuge in Canada. #shelfietalk
