                                NOTE

                                      A NEW ERA
With the past two years (well, almost two years) of pandemic publishing
behind us, it is time for some very good news.
     On behalf of myself and my business partners, I am delighted to announce
that beginning January 2022, Jen Gauthier will become the publisher of
Greystone Books, where she will run the day-to-day publishing programs
of Greystone’s adult list and Greystone Kids.
     We are fortunate to have an extremely good team involved in all aspects
of our programs—young people with a forward-thinking vision and non-
stop creative energy. It is absolutely time that this group be led by a new
generation. Jen Gauthier is the right person to provide that leadership,
which will ensure that the company continues to be successful and
that the program reaches new heights for many years to come.
     Jen’s time with Greystone goes back to 2005, when she was
part of the marketing team at Douglas & McIntyre, which owned
the imprint Greystone Books. When Greystone went out on its
own eight years ago, Jen was one of the key people I wanted to
help get the new entity off the ground. The company today owes
so much to Jen’s commitment and strength; I am extremely
pleased that Jen is moving into this new role, where I know she will
have the ear and support of the entire team.
     This note is about Jen and the team, but I also want to say that I will not
be stepping aside completely. I will take advantage of Jen’s presence and
Greystone’s stability to address a number of opportunities in front of us.
     A new era begins, and we are well positioned for an exciting future.

                                                   sun when Rose tells her that she’s just a weed. What’s a weed? Rose
                                                   explains that weeds aren’t planted on purpose and only get in the way.
                                                   As Daisy compares herself to other plants in the garden, she begins to

girl is entrusted with a big job: to collect a marrow
    bone from the neighbor for the family soup.
Picu’s family is very poor. In the dry northern hills of Argentina,
                                             her mother must feed fourteen people—her kids, her relatives’ kids,
                                             and the hired hand’s kids—every day. One morning Picu, the young-
