<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>A moving #OwnVoices poetry collection written by young newcomers to Canada</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A moving #OwnVoices poetry collection written by young newcomers to Canada</b> <br> <i>Carry On</i> began in a high school in Outremont, Quebec, where author and poet Simon Boulerice conducted creative-writing workshops for young newcomers to Canada. As the students began writing, their poems gave voice to their reflections on leaving family, friends, and countries of origin to make new homes and connections in their new home, Canada. <br> Paired with expressive portraits by award-winning artist Rogé, each young writer reflects on the experience of leaving one home for another. The collection of poems express feelings of anxiety, sorrow, anticipation, gratitude, and hope for the future. With thoughtful verse and evocative illustrations, <i>Carry On</i> is a tribute to human resilience, the voices of newcomers, and creating empathy for all those who wonder about their place in the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><em>"Carry On</em> not only gives the metaphorical microphone to those <br>with lived experiences, but also reinforces the idea that an immigrant <br>or refugee doesn't look a certain way."-- "The Tiny Activist"<br><br>It was amazing to read all the different places the students were coming from and trying to picture their experience.-- "Youth Services Book Review"<br><br>This collection can serve as a model for similar writing endeavors with immigrant communities or simply as a way for recent immigrants to process their own journeys.-- "Booklist"<br><br>A compelling look at the lives and feelings of student immigrants...
