Most People

Michael Leannah wrote Most People as an antidote to the scary words and images kids hear and see every day. Jennifer Morris's emotive, diverting characters provide the perfect complement to Leannah's words, leading us through the crowded streets of an urban day in the company of two pairs of siblings (one of colour). We see what they see: the hulking dude with tattoos and chains assisting an elderly lady onto the bus; the Goth teenager with piercings and purple Mohawk returning a lost wallet to its owner; and the myriad interactions of daily existence, most of them well intended. Most People is a courageous, constructive response to the dystopian world of the news media.

Mostly Miserable Life of April Sinclair, The

There’s one thing April knows for sure: she was born into the wrong family.

All April wants is to fit in, lose a little weight, and lead a normal teenage life... and also snag the gorgeous boy who moved in next door. Everything seems difficult enough in her small, Southern town, but almost impossible when her freaky family keeps getting in the way.
