Little Simon Inspirations
32 pages

“Comical mixed-media illustrations emphasize the story’s Wild West zaniness, a letterpress font highlights the rhyme scheme and the feel of yesteryear, and amusing fictional photographs on the endpapers offer more details. A rousing addition to storytimes and folktale studies.”

Dear Daughter: The Best of the Dear Leta Letters

Gallery Books
192 pages
$13.99


“Heather Armstrong first wrote to her daughter when Leta was just eight weeks old. For the next five years, Heather wrote a letter every month, capturing the ups and downs of motherhood and chronicling the milestones and surprises of their lives together. These are letters that we wish we had written for our own children: disarmingly honest, self-deprecating, heartwarming, and irreverently funny.”

“The book is beautifully written and tightly edited. It is the kind of intervention one sees more often in the French public debate than in our academically over determined Anglo-American publishing world. It is also meaningfully illustrated by Quinby’s own photographs that explore the post metropolitan ecologies on their own terms.”

— Roger Keil, York University
