Moving to a new country is never easy-especially when you're eight years old and leaving behind everything familiar.
For Hana, that means saying goodbye to her grandparents in India... and stepping into a cold Canadian world where snowflakes swirl, arenas echo, and hockey skates look like something from another planet.
But when her new coach introduces her to a special story-the inspiring tale of Indian-Canadian skating hero Arjun Singh, the Maple Tiger-Hana begins to see that courage comes in many forms. Maybe she can belong here too. Maybe she can skate. Maybe she can shine.
Hockey for Hana is a heartwarming picture book about:
✓ Finding confidence in a new country
✓ Staying connected to your family and heritage
✓ Discovering heroes who look like you
✓ The power of kindness from teachers, coaches, and community
✓ The magic of learning something new-one brave step at a time
Perfect for children ages 4-9, this beautifully illustrated story helps young newcomers feel seen, supported, and celebrated. It's also an uplifting read for Canadian families who want to explore multicultural identity, resilience, and the joy of sport.
Whether read in classrooms, shared at bedtime, or given as a gift to new arrivals, Hockey for Hana shows that home isn't just a place-it's something we build together.
