Variety is the Spice of Life
“Snow Day”
Atmospheric, nostalgic, and full of winter fun,
the debut picture book by mixed-Cree journalist, book reviewer, and podcast host
Lindsay Gloade-Raining Bird is a celebration
of Indigenous joy and childhood wonder.
Features warm, colourful artwork rendered in traditional gouache and coloured pencil from
debut illustrator Ashley Thimot.
Snow Day is available everywhere now. If you’re in the Edmonton area, you can also pick up a signed copy from me!
In 2024, I introduced my first picture book, “Snow Day”, written by Lindsay Gloade-Raining Bird and published by Nimbus Publishing in Halifax, NS. Working on this illustration project felt like getting in touch with my childhood, where I would create books about my weekends and stories from my imagination. It was a delightful switch from painting my cityscape pieces, and I hope there are more illustration projects in my future.
