Synopsis Island Kids by : Tara Saracuse
This is a history of British Columbia’s island children, told in their voices, from their perspectives. Composed of twenty-two stories, Island Kids is a snapshot of a period and place in time. The topics range from quintessentially coastal experiences, like a day at the beach, to stories that deal with serious issues, such as BC’s history of residential schools, but they all remain true to the experience of the children telling the story. At the end of each chapter is a section called “What do we know for sure?” that gives the reader greater depth and context. The stories are written in a dynamic and authentic voice and are aimed at readers aged eight to twelve. Unlike history that has either been fictionalized or told from an adult’s perspective, the Courageous Kids series brings history to kids in their own words. Truly original, Kidmonton, Rocky Mountain Kids, and Island Kids strive to communicate the events and emotions of kids.

Synopsis The Cayuga Island Kids Series by : Judy Bradbury
An ideal way to teach information literacy and leadership skills to 1st to 4th graders—using chocolate chip cookies and glitter pens! The Cayuga Island Kids are five big-hearted friends who solve mysteries and have wonderful adventures together. They are fact detectives who think, brainstorm, research, and work together to follow clues, find answers, and puzzle out solutions. Above all, they are kind, helpful, smart, and resourceful kids who have lots of fun together. Book 1 is based on real events surrounding one of the biggest puzzles of the Great Lakes! The Cayuga Island Kids set off on a hunt for a certain kind of tree and instead unearth a cannonball thought to be from a treasure ship built right on their island that sank in 1679 and was never recovered. As they hunt for clues and follow leads, they discover that the island they live on is home to a whole lot of history. And, it turns out, a whole lot of mystery, too. We all have history in our own backyards, just waiting to be discovered by inquisitive, adventurous, and fun-loving fact detectives! In award-winning Book 2, the Kids rescue a mallard caught in the plastic rings from six-pack of cans. How they go from fishing a plastic bottle out of the creek to bringing the community together to build a recycling bin big enough to hold plenty of plastic makes for a lively adventure. Young readers come to realize the importance of brainstorming, teamwork, community effort, recycling, and friendship. Although we are each just one person, together we can make a BIG difference! In Book 3, Julian and his dad are trying to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookie and Maya is helping with the Make-and-Take-Club. And then two glitter pens go missing. The clues and evidence point to a suspect, But when a classmate shares false information about Julian's cookies and they uncover misinformation when researching explorers, the importance of being a fact detective becomes crystal clear. The Kids learn that you have to have all the facts, not just a fraction of the truth. Young readers will cheer for the Kids on this adventure involving misinformation, faulty assumptions, flour bugs, glitter pens, and chocolate chip cookies.

Synopsis Those Snake Island Kids by : Jon Tucker
When Jake succeeds in persuading his family to embark on a sailing-camping holiday on a Tasmanian island, he is mostly interested in pirate fantasies and his home-built Optimist dinghy. But he does not plan on the events which are to leave him alone with his brother and sister. The children’s idealistic notions are challenged by several less-than-friendly visitors who introduce some serious concerns. Ultimately, after being forced to dig deep into their personal reserves, the treasures they all gain from their experiences are rather different from the ones Jake has set out to find.

Synopsis Street Kids by : Kristina E. Gibson
Street outreach workers comb public places such as parks, vacant lots, and abandoned waterfronts to search for young people who are living out in public spaces, if not always in the public eye. Street Kids opens a window to the largely hidden world of street youth, drawing on their detailed and compelling narratives to give new insight into the experiences of youth homelessness and youth outreach. Kristina Gibson argues that the enforcement of quality of life ordinances in New York City has spurred hyper-mobility amongst the city’s street youth population and has serious implications for social work with homeless youth. Youth in motion have become socially invisible and marginalized from public spaces where social workers traditionally contact them, jeopardizing their access to the already limited opportunities to escape street life. The culmination of a multi-year ethnographic investigation into the lives of street outreach workers and ‘their kids’ on the streets of New York City, Street Kids illustrates the critical role that public space regulations and policing play in shaping the experience of youth homelessness and the effectiveness of street outreach.

Synopsis NFB Kids by : Brian J. Low
Annotation Using a half-century of films from the archival collection of the National Film Board, NFB Kids overcomes a long-standing impasse about what films may be credibly said to document. Here they document not "reality" but social images preserved over time - the "NFB Society"--An evolving, cinematic representation of Canadian families, schools and communities.
