The Saskatchewan Council for International Cooperation (SCIC) developed a series of comics centering around each Millennium Development Goal (MDG). In 2000, the world leaders agreed to a set time measured by goals and targets to combat poverty and hunger, child mortality, maternal health, disease, illiteracy, environmental sustainability, discrimination against women and developing global partnerships.

The Chinese Thought of It: Amazing Inventions and Innovations
The Chinese people used the resources around them to improve their lives. Travel and trade were facilitated with the development of the paddleboat. The dragon-spine water lift allowed the Chinese to move water from the river to a field or reservoir. The Chinese were among the first to invent processes for working with metal. Health and healing practices, such as inoculations, are believed to be used as early as the 10th century CE.

Traveling the Freedom Road: From Slavery and the Civil War Through Reconstruction
Slavery was a way of life for many African-Americans during the formative years of the United States. Fortunes were made on the backs of men, women and children, who were forced to work and had no rights. Using diary entries, narratives, schoolwork and anti-slavery publications, Osborne tells the story of slavery. Many young people tried to escape from their masters, sometimes to be caught and returned to the plantation. Alternatively, some succeeded in reaching freedom and then became abolitionists or landowners.
The book includes photographs, postcards and illustrations. The book includes a table of contents, a timeline, bibliography and an index.
