A new children's book from an eastern Ontario author is highlighting the St. Lawrence region and Canadian culture, with help from a nearby First Nation to include a special Indigenous section.
For Kindergarten students at Central Public School in Cornwall, it's story time, and teacher Erin Lee is reading her newly published book, 'Benjamin and the Backyard Beast'.
"So we went hiking in the woods and he would teach me about all of the Canadian animals that we came across and one day we finally found this moose and it was a very, very special moment," she added. Boots draws traditional Haudenosaunee artwork, but had done commission work for children's books before.
"It's something that we really try to highlight, especially with our Ontario curriculum and I really just wanted to get the dialogue going in homes and in schools," noted Lee."We also included other resources where teachers and parents can go to learn more as well."
