Dr. Afua Cooper may be best known for her work of nonfiction, The Hanging of Angélique: The Untold Story of Canadian Slavery and the Burning of Old Montréal, a finalist for the Governor General’s Award in 2006, but she has also published numerous children’s books. Like The Hanging of Angélique, which details the trial and torture of an enslaved woman who was accused of setting fire to Old Montreal in 1734, her children’s books pick up on forgotten histories and insist on their memorialization.
