Praise for Meet Rosemarie Kuptana:

“The Scholastic Canada Biography series by Elizabeth MacLeod and Mike Deas continues to inspire us with stories of Canadians whose contributions have had a lasting impact on readers. . . . The writing is accessible, a trait of this popular and well-researched series. The digital artwork is contextual for young readers, giving them an opportunity to see the beauty of the North, the workings of government and the purposeful life of a Canadian whose story is worth celebrating. Well done!” — Sal’s Fiction Addiction

Praise for Meet Chris Hadfield:

“ . . . Meet Chris Hadfield delves a little deeper and gives children the anecdotes that will be most relevant to them. It’s about dreaming and working hard and having fun while engaging with others about your passion.” — CanLit for LittleCanadians

Praise for Meet Elsie MacGill:

“Elizabeth MacLeod has written an outstanding book. The language is flowing and exciting, and there are speech and thought bubbles that add humour and break up the text making the information easier to absorb. . . . The illustrations by Mike Deas are as strong and beautiful as the story. ” 5/5 stars — CM: Canadian Review of Materials
