Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul: Stories to Inspire and Uplift the Hearts of Canadians FROM THE PUBLISHER
Wearing a poppy on your jacket lapel in November. Cheering for your favourite team during "Hockey Night In Canada." Listening to a concert of local fiddlers on Cape Breton Island. Going camping or to the cottage on the first long weekend in May. Jogging along the sea wall in Vancouver's Stanley Park. All of these things evoke fond images and feelings because they are distinctly Canadian, and now we have another one: Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul.
Written by fellow Canadians from Prince Edward Island to Vancouver Island, from Quebec and Manitoba, from Yellowknife and Newfoundland and most cities and provinces in between, this book captures the events, the history, the landscapes, and most importantly, the people that have shaped Canada's distinctive charm and character. People like hockey player Paul Henderson, who shares the triumph of scoring the "Goal of the Century" during the historic 1972 Canada-Russia hockey series; singer Jann Arden, who shares her life-altering experience during a journey to Africa, Marilyn Bell Di Lascio, who details her record-breaking Lake Ontario swim; and journalist Sally Armstrong, who provides a compelling account of Princess Diana's first trip to Canada.
With chapters including: On Being Canadian, Living Your Dream, Overcoming Obstacles, On Love, On Kindness, Special Connections, This Great Land, and Making a Difference, these stories weave a rich tapestry of life in this spectacular country, from the people who call it home.
Like hearing a heartfelt rendition of "O Canada!," this book will instill renewed pride and patriotism in a well-deserving country and its people.
