Stories that teach real skills for real life. The Eco Series, the E-Safety Series, and the Water Safety Series — written for K-12 readers on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia.
A good children’s book does two things at once: it tells a story worth remembering, and it leaves a child slightly more capable than they were before. Fox Island Press’s K-12 catalogue is built on that principle — three series covering the practical skills young readers carry into the rest of their lives.
Stories that connect everyday moments to powerful lessons about our planet. Each book follows a young protagonist discovering that small actions — sorting recyclables, composting scraps, rethinking textiles — can make a real difference.
Every day after school, Mia finds treasures and troubles in her seaside town. But when a single piece of litter sparks an idea, can Mia and her friends turn trash into hope — and help the Earth, one tiny seed at a time?
