Words From readers

Reading Around the World Canada with my daughter was pure joy. Nova’s voice made us feel like we were walking beside her through Ottawa. My daughter kept stopping me to ask about the landmarks, and now she’s planning our ‘future Canada trip’ on a map.

I shared this book with my third graders, and it was an instant hit. The mix of fun storytelling and real-world facts sparked so many curious questions. We even played the Canadian national anthem afterward!

As a fellow children’s author, I’m impressed by Ashley Lee’s ability to weave learning into such a heartfelt adventure. Nova feels real, curious, kind, and relatable. This book is a passport to imagination.

I liked the part when Nova talked about snow because I’ve never seen it before. I could imagine it being soft and cold. Also, the food part made me hungry!

This story made my son’s eyes light up. He learned about Ottawa’s history, weather, and even the literacy rate, and didn’t even realize he was learning because it was so fun.

Ashley Lee paints Canada so vividly that I could almost hear the snow crunching under my feet. A delightful read for children and parents alike, and a reminder that books can take us anywhere.
