From historic fiction to biographies of celebrated Canadian icons, this year’s best kids’ books will delight and inspire budding book-lovers.“What truths would you utter from your mouth/If you could tell us your story” is the question artist/author Junaid asks readers to consider in her debut picture book. Using artifacts from a grave discovered in 1987 on the coast of Labrador as her starting point, Junaid creates a powerful account of the possible lives a 19th Black sailor might have lived.
Gibbons’s illustrations burst with colours that create a sense of the excitement of this celebration of Haida culture and community.Flett brilliantly brings this classic song by Buffy Sainte-Marie to life in a picture book that celebrates both the Cree worldview and the ties that bind us to the people and places most important to us. End-notes from both Sainte-Marie and Flett about their inspiration for both the song and illustrations add a wonderful personal connection.
Thanks Santa! Just what I always wanted: a picture book about Glenn Gould!! 😂
