The News We Lived Through

+++ More than 10000 readers in Canada +++

Looking for a book your mother, father, or grandparents can truly enjoy-one that doesn't strain the eyes, doesn't talk down to them, and gives them something wonderful to talk about at the dinner table?

The News We Lived Through revisits thirty major Canadian news stories, from the Coronation broadcast of 1953 and Hurricane Hazel to Expo 67, the Summit Series, Terry Fox, the Ice Storm, the Golden Goal, and the events of 2020.

Each chapter tells one true story in clear, warm, easy-to-follow language-and ends with three gentle memory questions that invite readers to recall and share their own experiences.

Big news events act like memory anchors. A single headline can bring back a kitchen, a job, a neighbourhood, a whole season of life. This book uses those anchors with care and respect: no quizzes you can fail, no politics, no pressure-just stories, memories, and conversation.

In this book you will find:

• Easy reading with clear language and a calm pace
• Large print and a comfortable format for fatigue-free reading
• Thirty short chapters on the Canadian news stories everyone remembers
• Three gentle memory questions at the end of every chapter

Benefits for the reader:

• Keeps the mind active through familiar national stories
• Awakens personal memories of where you were and who was with you
• Sparks conversation between generations-perfect for family visits
• Comforts with the rhythms of a shared Canadian life

Ideal for:

• Older Canadians who prefer clear, warm reading
• Families looking for a meaningful gift for a parent or grandparent
• Caregivers, seniors' centres, and care homes seeking a book to read aloud and discuss

From the first televised coronation to the screen in your pocket, these are the headlines a generation lived through-and the memories that belong to them alone.

The news may belong to history, but the memories belong to you.
