Marching North (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781771059022)

When Aunty Evangelina gifts Abiola an old compass, it becomes more than just a keepsake; it symbolises direction, courage, and identity. She introduces Abiola to the remarkable legacy of Black Caribbean soldiers who served and fought for Canada during the First and Second World Wars. These men travelled from the warmth of their Caribbean nations to foreign battlefields, facing prejudice and hardship while remaining determined to serve with honour. Many returned to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, and community leaders. They were true heroes whose resilience helped shape Canada's history.

This beautifully illustrated book not only inspires kids to stand up for what's right but also educates and encourages them to appreciate the contributions of the remarkable Black Canadian soldiers. Perfect for ages 5 to 10.
