Morris is a little boy who loves using his imagination. He dreams about having space adventures, paints beautiful pictures and…
sings the loudest during circle time. But most of all, Morris loves his classroom’s dress-up center — he loves wearing the tangerine dress. But the children in Morris’s class don’t understand. Dresses, they say, are for girls. And Morris certainly isn’t welcome in the spaceship some of his classmates are building. One day when Morris feels all alone, and sick from the taunts of his classmates, his mother lets him stay home from school. Inspired by a dream of a fantastic space adventure, Morris paints the incredible scene he saw. He builds his own spaceship, hangs his painting on the front of it and takes two of his classmates on an outer space adventure. Grades 2-4. 2014.
Wendy Reimer is a thirty-year-old trans woman in Winnipeg who comes across evidence that her late grandfather--a devout Mennonite farmer--might…
have been transgender himself. At first she dismisses this revelation, having other problems at hand, but as she and her friends struggle to cope with the challenges of their increasingly volatile lives, from alcoholism, to sex work, to suicide, Wendy is drawn to the lost pieces of her grandfather's life, becoming determined to unravel the mystery. Alternately warm-hearted and dark-spirited, desperate and mirthful, "Little Fish" explores the winter of discontent in the life of one transgender woman as her past and future become irrevocably entwined. 2018.
