Thanks to @catherinelittle.bsky.social, learning #Force136 history can start at a young age. Her "Endgame: The Secret Force 136" is a delightful children's book with vibrant illustrations from Sean Huang. Book details at plumleafpress.com/product/endg.... #HistoryForKids #CanadianHistory #BookSky

The cover of the children's picture book Endgame: The Secret Force 136. A young Chinese-Canadian boy named Alex plays chess with his great-grandfather Tai Gong. In a thought bubble behind the older man's head, soldiers parachute from an airplane into a jungle, revealing a secret WWII history about Force 136. The book is written by Catherine Little, with illustrations by Sean Huang. The title 'Endgame: The Secret Force 136' is written in white capital letters. #PictureBook #CanadianHistory #WWII #ChineseCanadianHistory #KidsBook

Do you love Jane Austen and/or the Blue Willow pattern? Jane and the Blue Willow Princess, my latest PB was inspired when I learned about the discovery of a shard of BW at Steventon, JA’s childhood home. Preorders Open! Guess which piece is circa 1810! #kidlit #janeausten #bluewillow #canlit

JANE AND THE BLUE WILLOW PRINCESS was inspired by the discovery of a shard of Blue Willow pottery at Jane Austen’s childhood home. It celebrates the close relationship Jane had with her sister Cassandra and would make a great gift for any present or future Janeite!

Image shows the covers for the two books on a blue background. The title says “Celebrating Jane Austen 250”
