No one builds a stand alone.
In the book, Starr and Curtis learn that every business needs help — a mentor, a neighbour, a friend. It's true of this project too. These are the people and companies giving their time and skill because they believe kids deserve this.

En français — coming soon
Our translation partner is completing the French edition of Ice Pop Shop at no cost — because they believe every Canadian kid should meet this story in their own language.
A trusted early reader
While the book was still being written, an Indigenous leader generously reviewed the manuscript and shaped the story with his feedback. Those conversations continue today — including about bringing Ice Pop Shop to young readers in Cree.
