Four year old: What's that flower pin?
Me: it's a poppy for Remembrance Day.
Four year old: What's Rememb-ance Day?
Me: a time to remember that fighting hurts us and we should work to be kind and peaceful.

Lest we forget.

Happy National Inuit day to my amazing friends living in the North and all over! In particular, quana to Cathy Aitaok and Jorgan for their kindness and patience, and quyanainni to Audrea Wulf, the incredibly talented illustrator for Freddie the Flyer.

I love everything this author writes, always so full of fully-realized characters, honest love stories, messy families, mental health challenges and, often, physical health ones too.
