To bring awareness of B.C.’s caribou to children, West Kootenays writer Kathy Sager collaborates with Cortes Island illustrator Kristen Scholfield-Sweet for Mother Reindeer’s Journey to the Sun: A Tribute to Mountain Caribou (Maa $12). The story follows Mother Reindeer on her annual journey to bring warmth and light back to the north. Sager includes facts about mountain caribou and photos of the animal in its habitat. B.C.’s southeastern South Selkirk herd is considered extirpated while the South Purcell herd, with only three males remaining in the wild, is functionally extirpated according to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources. Thirty of B.C.’s 54 caribou herds are at risk of local extinction, and 14 of those herds have fewer than 25 animals. Kathy Sager, an early childhood educator, previously published a baking story and recipe book for children, Suzie’s Sourdough Circus: with Amazing Recipes! (Harbour, 2011). 9781777306106 [BCBW 2021]
