Just a wee teaser from the spectacular Aurora’s Journey, by Kayla Williams!

Here young Aurora runs into Mama Nanuk, the polar bear—just one of the many inhabitants of Nunatsiavut she encounters on her travels. If you want to find out what happens, you’ll have to wait till September 27 when Aurora’s Journey launches! Folks who follow Kegedonce Press will notice that this release date is a few weeks later than previously announced, and that is because we decided that doing the book as a 22-page softcover edition, in no way, did justice to Kayla’s gorgeous illustrations.

So we went with 44 pages in hardcover, which requires a longer production time, and I’m sure you’ll agree that this was the best decision!
