“Bannock in a Hammock” Nominated for Forest of Reading’s Blue Spruce 2026 Award

We are so pleased to announce that “Bannock in a Hammock” is a Forest of Reading Blue Spruce Award 2026 Nominee.

Written by Inuk/Dene writer Masiana Kelly, this sweet, simple narrative celebrates the deliciousness of bannock!

Throughout the program year, the Forest of Reading provides quality online literacy and reading engagement resources that can be used in school and library programming or at home. In April 2026, those who participate in the Forest have the opportunity to vote for their favourite books and select the award winners.

Thank you to the Committee members for this exciting honour, and good luck to all of our fellow nominees!
