Humber Press launched two new children's books, Canada: Our Road to Democracy and Grandma and Grandpa’s Toronto Adventure, both written by Alister Mathieson, Humber's vice-president of Advancement and External Relations, and Marianne Ilass, and illustrated by Derek Douglas.

"Congratulations to Alister Mathieson (VP, Advancement & External Affairs) from his friends and colleagues at Humber Press on the massively successful launch of his two new books for children - 'Canada: Our Road to Democracy' and 'Grandma and Grandpa's Toronto Adventure.' The event was attended by dozens of readers and well-wishers, along with Humber president Chris Whitaker and an aide-de-camp to Lieutenant-Governor David Onley (who was, unfortunately, unable to attend in person). There was candy, art, conversation, and, of course, lots and lots of books getting signed by Alister and his co-creators. Great job, Alister!" - Humber Press

Alister’s royalties and net proceeds from the sales of both books will go towards the Blossom Student Award and Scholarship Fund, a newly established scholarship for students facing challenges from disabilities and mental illness.
