  The First Thousand Trees

  Premee Mohamed

  This luminous novella concludes the trilogy started with The Annual Migration of Clouds. Henryk Mandrusiak, ostracized in his community and without his best friend, Reid, goes to live with his uncle in a distant village with trees and water and a different way of living, rebuilding the land bit by bit. But even here, he does not belong, and small mistakes have big consequences.

  In the Bear’s House

  Bruce Hunter

  Previously published in 2009, this new edition brings the lyrical novel to new readers. Two perspectives – that of Trout, a Deaf boy from the Calgary subdivision of Ogden, and of his young, artistic mother, Clare – combine to tell the story of Trout as he makes his way from Ogden to the Kootenay Plains wilderness, where he learns from the mountains and the community of Nakoda families, who are facing the destructive effects of the Bighorn Dam construction.
