Monica Kulling (Ontario), Margriet Ruurs (British Columbia)
Monica Kulling shares the inspiring true story of Mother Jones and her march to end child labour, as told by two fictitious eight-year-olds who wish they could go to school but are instead working 12 hour days in a cotton mill. World traveller Margriet Ruurs provides kids with a better understanding of the Syrian refugee crisis by following one family’s journey as they flee on foot from the ravages of civil war in search of freedom in Europe. Young people often feel powerless, but these two authors are keen to prove they are anything but.It’s never too soon for children to learn that they have the power to make a difference. Nor is it ever too soon for them to discover their capacity for resilience.
