We are celebrating 40 years of publishing books that inspire kind and curious kids! 📚 Based out of a big yellow house in Victoria, BC, Orca has grown to become one of the largest independent publishers in Canada. We publish books for readers of all abilities and believe providing young people with exposure to diversity through reading creates a more compassionate world. Thank you to all the readers for supporting this Pod over the years. Here's to 4 more decades!

Orca Book Publishers reposted this
With OWLS: WHO GIVES A HOOT? now officially launched (yesterday), I'm celebrating both the book and the many people who helped bring it into the world. First there's all those who shared their knowledge, experiences and photos with me, especially the wonderful young Owl Allies who allowed me to tell their stories. Then there's the fabulous Orca Book Publishers team, whose creativity, hard work and vision made this book possible and will help it fly high. And now there's the readers, who are the reason I write. It's always a delight to hear from kids who have enjoyed and been inspired by my books (or adults, for that matter). More in my latest "Owls Are Awesome" newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eM2ZcvqM #owls #kidsbooks
