This charming picture book, starring a ladybug who helps her community be more caring, is bright and cheerful and full of hope.The story is sweet and poignant, since it is based on the true experience of author Hannah Taylor.

Wrestling star (and local Winnipeg boy) Chris Jericho will be at our Grant Park location in Winnipeg on Thursday, November 15. He'll be reading, signing and answering questions about his new book A Lion’s Tale: Around the World in Spandex.

You might think that this is another one of those big name entertainment confessional type books. I did- but then I saw this interview on bookvideos.tv. Jericho (who studied journalism early on) is delightful as he compares wrestling entertainment to Shakepeare and his autobiography to War and Peace and The Catcher in the Rye. The slight twinkle in his eye as he does so lets us all in on what he's up to- and that he's got a sense of humour every Winnipegger will recognize as home-grown.

Too bad the cover-art doesn't get this across.

You can watch a YouTube version after the jump.

The Silverwing books are truly unique pieces of literature. Kenneth Oppel has taken an entire cast of non-human characters, and made them human enough for all readers to understand and feel compassionate towards. Yet, at the same time he has not made them too human, so that the reader forgets that they are in fact bats. So, while reading these books I always felt the happiness, sadness and fear of its main characters, all of which are human emotions. While, at the same time I was concerned about such things as his flying ability, and whether the bugs he could see with his echo-vision would be enough to sustain him for the coming portion of his journey, all of which are bat characteristics. So, it was this fine balance of ‘human, but not too human’ that so many animal based children’s stories lack that has made the Silverwing Trilogy one of my favourite series of books.
