Muskrats and Fire
Muskrats and Fire, written by Renée Carrière in collaboration with Charlebois Community School students in Cumberland House, provides a personal account of their journey to answer the question: Where have all the muskrats gone?

Air, Water, & the Weather: Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It
Air, Water, & Weather is designed to help educators develop a deep understanding of the basics of phenomena, such as air pressure. The author starts with basic properties of air and water.

These concepts form a foundation for explanations of weather patterns including the jet stream, storm fronts and the formation of tornadoes and hurricanes. Each chapter has two sections: Things to Do Before You Read the Science Stuff and The Science Stuff.
The book includes suggested activities, a table of contents, a glossary and an index.
