My Nova Scotia is an ocean breeze
with sand at my feet and rustling trees

From hearty food and toe-tapping fiddle music to the vast ocean blue, there's something in this delightful read-aloud for everyone! Pick fresh blueberries, weave a rug, tell a story around a campfire, or go for a canoe ride. In My Nova Scotia, joyful rhymes and whimsical illustrations celebrate all the diverse cultures, people, and traditions that make this province unique. Whether you call this land home or are just here to visit, you're welcome here. What's your Nova Scotia?

My Nova Scotia honours the province with lively watercolour illustrations depicting Acadian hooked rugs, Mi'kmaw history, African Nova Scotian resilience, Cape Breton fiddle music, and so much more.
