October 1st is the official release day of A Gift for Sophie, the wondrous and charming story of close friends who grow up learning new ideas about life from Sophie’s granduncle, Old Man Tom. This coming-of-age story holds a universal theme that many children may relate to. We’re excited to introduce petite protagonists Sophie and Emilio as they navigate their everyday lives with childhood adventure. This delightful story comes alive with some stellar performances by folk-rock singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright, along with guest performances by Thomas Hellman, Jessica Vigneault and Paul Campagne.
BOOK A poetic story by Gilles Vigneault about friendship and old age that takes place in a seaside setting and depicts a sense of continuity, the importance of remembering and the happiness a gift can bring. Nine songs accompany the narration of this touching story about two friends, Sophie and Emilio, and the Old Man Tom who teaches them how to see the world through their hearts.
MUSIC CD In addition to the narrated story, the CD offers nine heartwarming songs for the whole family.
Ages: 5 to 7 / Canadian and U.S. Pub Date: October 1, 2013
Author-Song Writer
Gilles Vigneault, a member of the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, is hailed as one of Canada’s most important music figures of the 20th century, especially as a champion Québécois folksinger. His work often evokes his great love of nature and the passion he has for his hometown – Natashquan, a remote, wind-swept village on the banks of the St. Lawrence. He has received numerous distinctions including the “Grand prix du disque de l’Académie Charles-Cros” in France and the “Médaille Vermeil” offered by the City of Paris.
This hardcover book is nicely written. Full of interesting drawings of the characters throughout the book. Set along the seaside my children who have always lived close tot he beach could relate tot he story. A fabulous tale of friendship and time. Within the back cover is the CD full of heartwarming songs the entire family will enjoy listening to. The book also contains the lyrics of the music found on the CD. An enjoyable read for the family.

I hope this ends PST! I would love to win this for my older son. He is very interested in anything done by Canadians. Inventors, writers.. He would really appreciate a book written by a fellow Canadian.
