If you happen to attend @torontowots on Sunday -- I'm signing copies of PLAGUE THIEVES at the @cormorantbooks booth (B11) at 11am -- for those of you who enjoy #mgbooks.

However, I understand if you all go to see @davidrobertsonwriter (who has a panel at the exact same time/same day). If only we could all be in two places at once because I'd love to see/meet Mr. Robertson myself.🙂

In the foreground a blurry copy of “All the Little Monsters” by David A Robertson rests on a light wood cafe table. In focus in the background, a tiny brown sparrow meanders between the legs of occupied tables.

A little bit of outdoor chaos fluttering through a crowded coffee shop, perching on chairs and tables, feels like an oddly fitting intrusion into the final chapters of “All the Little Monsters,” @davidarobertson.bsky.social’s excellent memoir of mental health.

It doesn't release until the end of July but LITTLE SHOES by @davidarobertson.bsky.social & illustrated by Maya McKibbin is worth pre-ordering for the discussions that it will start. #residentialschools #empathy #trauma #family From Tundra Books. canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2025/07/litt...

7 Generations by @davidarobertson.bsky.social & @scottbhendersonart.bsky.social is a moving, wonderful graphic novel about Plain Cree indigenous people and generational trauma across 2 centuries. A new 15th anniversary edition is well worth your attention!
