You Were Made for This World: Celebrated Indigenous Voices Speak to Young People is a joyful collection of letters and art to celebrate the potential of young people, to share a sense of joy and pride in language, traditional and personal stories and teachings, and shared experiences, and to honor young people for who they are and what they dream of.

A Steady Brightness of Being: Truths, Wisdom, and Love from Celebrated Indigenous Voices brings together voices from across Turtle Island and tackles complex questions of our times to provide a rich tapestry of Indigenous life, past, present, and future. Taking its structure from the medicine bundle—tobacco, sage, cedar, and sweetgrass—it will stir and empower readers, as well as enrich an essential and ongoing conversation about what reconciliation looks like and what it means to be Indigenous today.

Co-Editor Stephanie Sinclair will speak with a few of the books' contributors — Niigaan Sinclair, katherena vermette, Tasha Spillett, and David A. Robertson — to celebrate both books' publications.
Stephanie Sinclair is Publisher of McClelland & Stewart, an imprint of Penguin Random House Canada. She is a Cree, Ojibwe, and German/Jewish settler.
