Dear Canada books by Perry Nodelman:
ON THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF DEAR CANADA:
The Dear Canada series is ten years old — old enough now not just to have introduced a lot of readers to a lot of history, but also to be a part of history itself. Any day now we can expect a new Dear Canada about a young girl who gets a summer job at Scholastic and is there as the series begins and begins to make history.
