About the Book

July’s Return is a pocketbook anthology of original poems inspired by the twelve months of the year. Each poem is paired with an original watercolour painting by Samara herself. This collection invites you to find beauty and inspiration in the most unexpected places. Samara’s elementary school speaking tour inspired this new collection, and a portion of the book’s profits will fund workshops for children’s literature and poetry education, which is being supported by the English Montreal School Board and Inspirations News.
