A few more recs for publishers #beyondthebig5 - @KCPLoft have some awesome stuff, including thriller Throwaway Girls by @Andrea_Contos which I loved, and the hilarious Rebel With A Cupcake by @Anna_Mainwaring. kidscanpress.com/keywords/kc…
Such a fascinating conversation on women in politics. Great leaders here talking about some of the points in @SMacKendrick’s book IN GOOD HANDS. Thank you @LauraMaeLindo @MarciIen @sangita_patel. So inspirational!
“THROWAWAY GIRLS is a superb thriller ...”
Debut Throwaway Girls by @Andrea_Contos (@KidsCanPress) is a superb thriller with an amazing main character willing to do whatever it takes to find her missing best friend. Caroline is one of my favourite MCs of the year and I can't wait for more from Andrea Contos!

IN GOOD HANDS: Remarkable Female Politicians from Around the World Who Showed Up, Spoke Out, and Made Change, by Stephanie MacKendrick, profiles 19 women in politics, including Eva Aariak, and provides a Playbook to show how you can do it, too! 5/6
Today, unfortunately, only two out of 19 seats are held by women, prompting the introduction of a new initiative, the Women and Girls Leadership and Governance Forum, to develop leadership skills for Inuit women and girls to encourage them into careers in politics. 4/6
In 2017, Eva Aariuk was quoted as saying “I was really hoping there would be many more women. There are just not enough yet,” remarking on the fact that women held 6 of Nunavut’s 22 legislative seats. 3/6
The first woman to serve in the role, and only the fifth woman in Canadian history at the time to become a leader of a province or territory, she successfully advocated for gender equality and the involvement of women in politics. 2/6
.@evaaariak has dedicated her life to promoting Inuit culture and languages. She served as Premier of Nunavut, the Arctic region of Canada encompassing one-fifth of the country’s landmass, from 2008-2013. 1/6
