This book should be in Canadian schools

"This book is a powerful and beautifully illustrated picture book that shines a light on the often-overlooked contributions of Black Caribbean soldiers who served Canada during the First and Second World Wars. Through the story of Abiola and a treasured compass from Aunty Evangelina, young readers learn about courage, identity, resilience, and the importance of remembering history. This inspiring book is both educational and heartfelt, making it an excellent addition to classrooms, libraries, and homes. Our Canadian schools should include this book in classrooms, especially for Black history and Remembrance day."

— Marianna H. (5/5)

A Compass Toward Courage & Memory Book for Kids

"Marching North, written by Yolanda T. Marshall and illustrated by Daria Lavrova, is a luminous children’s book that guides young readers through courage, heritage, and remembrance. When Aunty Evangelina gifts Abiola an old compass, it becomes a symbol of direction and identity—pointing toward the remarkable legacy of Black Caribbean soldiers who served Canada with honour. Among them is Barbadian‑born Airman Owen Rowe, whose steadfast service embodies the resilience celebrated in these pages. The book’s lyrical storytelling and radiant art invite children to stand for justice while cherishing history. With a heartfelt foreword by Owen Rowe’s daughter, historian Kathy Grant, Marching North ensures that the sacrifices and triumphs of Black Canadian veterans march proudly into the hearts of a new generation."

— Kathylvorg (5/5)
