Marching North

By Yolanda T. Marshall

Abiola's aunt, Evangelina, tells the important history of Black Caribbean soldiers who bravely served and fought for Canada. These men travelled from warm tropical countries to the cold north. Abiola learns about their strength and resilience as they faced discrimination and challenges, yet chose to serve with honour. Some returned home safely and went on to become role models and leaders within their communities. This story highlights the heroism and perseverance of Black Canadian soldiers.

This beautifully illustrated book not only educates but also inspires children to appreciate the contributions of these remarkable individuals in shaping Canadian history. Perfect for ages 4 to 10.
