Encounter

History is so often portrayed as conflict, but this story, based on a journal by 16th-century French explorer Jacques Cartier, invites young readers to take a peek into a first encounter between cultures that is straight-up enchanting. Explore the things that make us different—and the experiences that bring us together. Gorgeously-designed by featured illustrator Michaela Goade, an award-winning, indigenous artist we’re proud to showcase.
