📣 Coming This Fall from Pownal Street Press
We’re excited to share the upcoming release of ‘Let Rise: Stories from a Small Town Cook’ by Charlottetown chef and entrepreneur Adam Loo.

We met Adam at Ada Culinary Studio last year. One conversation about food and storytelling led to this powerful debut memoir—a reflection on family, ambition, grief, and building a business with heart.

From growing up on a PEI farm to cooking for the Culinary Olympics, to opening his own farm-to-table kitchen downtown, Adam shares what it means to stay rooted while moving forward.

📖 Listening Beyond the Day: Honouring Sacred Thought

National Indigenous Peoples Day was observed on June 21, during the summer solstice—a day of great meaning and light. At Pownal Street Press, today, we carry that spirit forward.

We honour Mi’kmaq Elder George Paul (Sky Blue Eagle) by amplifying his voice through his powerful and timely book:
🌿 Sacred Thought: Mi’kmaq Meditations for Our Times

In this collection, Elder Paul offers sacred teachings through story, symbol, and spiritual meditation. Rooted in Mi’kmaq oral tradition, Sacred Thought invites readers to slow down, reconnect with the natural world, and walk in balance and peace.

🪶 Beyond One Day: A Practice of Listening

Indigenous Peoples Day reminds us:

Listening to Indigenous voices is a daily practice, not a date on the calendar.

Teachings like those in Sacred Thought are not just read—they’re lived.

The stories shared by Elders are gifts, passed from heart to heart.

✨ “Sacred Thought teaches us to walk gently with the earth and each other.”
—Elder George Paul (Sky Blue Eagle)

📚 Sacred Thought is available now.
