Sports Are Great! Children's Book

Written by Brandon Ferguson and Illustrated by Jillian Lim

A rhyming, illustrated board book for young kids with a positive message: no matter where, when, or what's played, sports are great.

$11.99 each + GST

Sports Are Great! was both written and illustrated in Ottawa, Canada.

Visit www.sportsaregreat.com for more information.

Brandon, a debut self-published children's book author, resides in Hintonburg and is passionate about crafting lively rhymes. His book, 'Sports Are Great!', is dedicated to his daughter. His goal is to inspire young children by promoting an active lifestyle and challenging gender stereotypes through the portrayal of girls in sports.

Jillian is an Ottawa artist who loves books! But only the ones with happy endings. When she’s not cozying up on the couch with a book, she’s cuddling with her puppy (but really, she’s usually reading and cuddling at the same time). Fun fact about “Sports Are Great!”: a couple of the animals in the book are loosely inspired by two of her pets. Can you guess which ones?

Great Scoops!

Published by Figure 1 Publishing in Vancouver, BC. Printed in Canada.

Free shipping to any address in Canada or the United States*

Ice cream really does make everything better.

Compiled with love by the team at The Merry Dairy, Great Scoops: Recipes from a Neighbourhood Ice Cream Shop features a cheerful collection of 80 easy, custard-style, and vegan ice creams and delectable desserts.

From hibiscus & passion fruit and bourbon black cherry to triple chocolate and caramel popcorn, this exciting new cookbook also includes recipes for signature sauces, toppings, and baked goods (say hello to chocolate chip cookies and meringue kisses).

Best of all, the ice creams are nut-free, sesame-free, (and some even gluten-free). What can we say? This is good mood food at its best.

And for those who are new to ice cream making, have no fear: the book includes a chapter covering everything there is to know about making both dairy and vegan ice creams and frozen desserts at home.

Great Scoops is a captivating cookbook about artisanal ice cream, the people who craft it, and the community that is such a part of it. The delightful selection of classic and whimsical flavors reminds us that delicious homemade ice creams can be made year-round and, more importantly, that you’re never too old (and it’s never too cold) to enjoy a heartfelt scoop.

Or order it from any local bookstore using this incredibly nifty website. Or get it from Indigo, or Amazon.ca for delivery to friends and family! Also available for US delivery on Amazon.com, or wherever Merry Dairy ice cream is sold, like Thyme & Again!

*if you would like to ship this book to a Canadian or US address, please include the address in the "notes" section of your order, instead of the "local delivery" section of the checkout. We will follow up your order with an email to confirm receipt of order and delivery option.
