![]() ![]() I’m working my way through the collection, though I’ll be tossing in other books to mix it up as well. The series covers fascinating chunks of history in Canada from 1666 to 1948 in locations coast to coast. I’ve been meaning to learn more about the history of my own country, but I like learning in a fun way and when I come across interesting facts then I’ll do a little more background research. They really don’t sugar coat anything in these books and while many terrible things happen in them, it still feels real and accessible and there are important pieces of Canadian history in this series that people might not be aware of. Their target age group is about 12, but good writing doesn’t have an age limit on it, especially when they’re covering topics such as political tension, loss of friends and family through death and/or separation, war, invasions, medical disasters, etc. They’re a well written collection of 36 books designed to get young people engaged in history. I’ve recently purchased most of the Dear Canada books and am on the hunt for the few remaining. ![]()
