The Eh, Canada? Series Begins with Clever Creations and Weird Laws

“Isn’t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about?”
 — L. M. Montgomery


Cover image for the book Clever Creations from the Eh, Canada? series. The design has a green chalkboard-style centre with bold white text and a red and yellow border. The Little Goodbyes Press Tiny Tales Told logo appears in the top left corner. The text reads Clever Creations, written and illustrated by Jacqueline Cooper, pocket-sized Canadian trivia books, available now in softcover and eBook.



Clever Creations is now live and officially part of the Eh, Canada? series, along with Weird Laws. These books are designed to be light, funny, and very easy to read. Each title is divided into short themed sections, and every section begins with a single illustration that sets the tone for the facts that follow. The illustrations work as small visual markers rather than page-by-page artwork, which keeps the layout simple and the focus on the content.

All of the books in this series use a large print format. That has been perfect for quick browsing, reading with kids, sharing with grandparents, or leaving out on a coffee table. They are physically small (4 x 6), easy to tuck into a stocking or for a teacher gift, and easy to carry. Exactly the kind of little trivia books I wanted to make.

Amazon Limiting Quantities of Books

In the past week or two a few readers messaged me about something odd happening on Amazon. When they tried to buy multiple copies at once, Amazon displayed a message saying that the seller had placed a limit on how many could be purchased. I want to be very clear, I did not set any limits. This seems to be an Amazon quirk that sometimes appears with new or smaller books when people order several together. It does not block orders and everything still ships normally. It only creates a confusing message that makes it look like I restricted the quantities, which I did not.

Thanks to those people who reached out and for all your continued support!

Available as an eBook

Both Clever Creations and Weird Laws are also available in eBook format, either for purchase or through libraries, depending on where you prefer to read.

This series has been fun to build and Clever Creations adds another small burst of Canadian trivia to the lineup. I am glad it is now out in the world, Amazon quirks and all.

More titles in the Eh, Canada? series are coming in 2026.

Working with Scribus: A Free InDesign Alternative for Book Layouts

"In real open source, you have the right to control your own destiny." – Linus Torvalds When I first started preparing Bye-Bye, Boobies for IngramSpark's hardcover printing process, I quickly realized how many publishing programs come with a heavy price tag. Adobe InDesign is the most common desktop publishing software that comes up over and over, but the subscription alone can add up to hundreds of dollars a year. As an indie author, I needed another way. ISBNs in Canada (and Why I’m Using IngramSpark) That’s when I turned to Scribus . Scribus is a free, open-source book layout and typesetting program aka desktop publishing software. While the interface may not be flashy, it gives me the same control over trim size, margins, bleeds, and spine guides that paid software programs do. Once I got used to its quirks, it became a reliable part of my process. Tip: Keep all of the files that you are uploading into Scribus in one folder and save the finished file in that same fo...
