Author visits & photo sessions
Northern stories: a 30–45 minute author session for early years and primary groups.
A new lens on your community: a 60–90 minute photography activity for older children and youth.

The Little Boy Who Found Happiness
Created with Pinehouse Photography Club members and available in English and Cree.
Educators should review the story before choosing it for a group. It includes grief following a parent’s death by suicide.

Plan with your host team
Local educators and facilitators guide age suitability, cultural context, language needs and accessibility. A host stays with the group and manages supervision and permissions.
Sessions offer creative learning and reflection. Dates, fees, travel, equipment and book costs are confirmed by quote around my northern nursing schedule.
