Ellis on Guard

Ellis worries. A lot.

Ellis sees danger in places other people don’t.

They worry about talking to new people. And they’re especially worried about losing their puppy, Peanut. If Ellis wrote out their list of worries, it would wrap around their house three times.

 

But sometimes, our worries can be put to surprisingly good use.…

Illustrated by Nandita Ratan.

When the Ocean Came to Town

A great storm is coming.

Gretchen loves the ocean. She dreams of going to the beach on her own, with no one to make her leave before she’s ready. But between whispers of oil, plastic, and a rising sea, her parents warn her not to underestimate the strength of the water. 

 

Gretchen soon sees the ocean’s power firsthand when the tides rise high enough to threaten her home. Can she help her neighbours rebuild after the storm is over, or is the damage too great?

Illustrated by Emma FitzGerald.
