Prize(s): Short-listed Foreword Indies Book of the Year Award - Children’s Picture Books (2018), Short-listed Bill Duthie Booksellers’ Choice Award (2018), Selected for IBBY Canada’s catalogue From Sea to Sea to Sea: Celebrating Indigenous Picture Books, a collection of 100 recommended picture books by Indigenous authors (2018) 

“Graceful, well-constructed rhymes (“Hello humpback/ ocean blue/ chatty raven/ mountain view”) pair with First Nations artist Vickers’s crisp, luminous scenes, with animals drawn in the bold, abstracted style of the region’s indigenous artists. ...It’s a gorgeous glimpse of the distinctive landscapes and creatures of the Northwest, and it will enchant residents and nonlocals alike.”


–Publishers Weekly

“... Hello Humpback! serves as an introduction to an area, a culture and an art style, and its contents can likely be appreciated by an audience older than that normally associated with a board book. Highly Recommended.”


–Dave Jenkinson, CM (Volume XXIV, No. 22)

“Each page of brilliant art has a little bit of texture, so that toddlers can feel the pictures as well as look at them. It’s a beautiful little book for the very youngest of little ones.”
