Author Jean Miso Comes for a Surprise Visit!

On Tuesday, November 16, Jean Miso, author of "We'll Never Forget", visited Olivet New Church School. She graciously read portions of her book and sang the accompanying song. We are tremendously honoured that Ms. Miso surprised us with her visit and then spent time with us helping to make the book come alive.


"We'll Never Forget" is a wonderful book written to honour those who have served Canada both in war and in peacekeeping missions. It is suitable for all ages, as there are two stories running side by side; one is a lovely picture book illustrated beautifully by Asher Sadeh, and the other is a series of mini biographies of a variety of men and women who have served Canada in the military. The artwork is enchanting and the photographs accompanying the biographies work to bring the stories alive. The fact that the book comes with its own CD only adds to the multidimensional qualities of this very special book. For our Facebook friends; "you will "like" this book!!"
