La petite fille qui detestait les livres (French Edition)

This collection of twenty-seven articles on the major women's issues of the 1980s shows why feminists had only begun to fight. Women were still paid less than their male counterparts, rape and wife battering remained brutal social problems and inadequate day care still threatened women's right to work. These and many other injustices that undermine more than fifty percent of Canada's population are thoughtfully explored in this provocative book.  Talented writers from across the country review the dynamic changes in the women's movement. Controversial issues like abortion, pornography, sexuality and women and work are examined. Non-traditional jobs for women, day care, and rape are only a few of the many concerns brought into focus. Still Ain't Satisfied provides a stimulating look at some of the most important issues of the 1980s - issues which are just as relevant to women today.

Growing Up & Facts of Life

Insatiably curious and longing for change, LittleFish takes the very young reader on a journey through the process of evolution and birth. Illustrations by Governor-General Award winner Darcia Labrosse show LittleFish leaving her family to find what lies beyond the sea. We follow her development as she grows arms and legs, and crawls onto land on all fours. Happily she learns how to stand (although it's lucky she has a soft behind to absorb all her falls). Humor and warmth characterize this delightful picture book.
