For forty years Kids Can Press has brought a world of imagination to life for children around the world. What started as a small Toronto collective in 1973, with a mandate to publish high-quality, inclusive children’s books, has grown to become an internationally recognized award-winning home for talented authors and illustrators around the globe.

One of the reasons Kids Can Press has continued to thrive in a rapidly evolving marketplace is that the company has always been at the forefront of innovation.

Another reason we have been successful is because of the support of so many people like you — booksellers, teachers, librarians and book lovers of all ages. We can’t begin to thank you enough for that support and your role in our success.

And lastly, we continue to flourish because of the dedicated team at Kids Can Press, pictured here, who thrill in bringing you — and the world — the very best books for children.

spit feathersWritten by Jessica Scott Kerrin

Ferguson is trying to help his grandfather figure out his legacy. His grandfather doesn’t want to have any regrets, like his old friend McDermit, who famously caught a giant lobster but regretted not returning it to sea. So when another giant lobster is caught in their fishing community and put up for auction, Ferguson cooks up a plan with his grandfather to bid on the lobster and set it free. Will this be his grandfather’s legacy or will the town’s richest man ruin everything?

Spit Feathers is the third book in The Lobster Chronicles, a trilogy about how life changes for three boys in a small coastal town when a giant lobster is caught. Each book describes the same events through a different boy’s eyes, making for three suspenseful, believable stories and an engrossing reading experience.
