Everyone who knew Claire probably has a story about her. My own concerns the time my then-8-year-old son Patrons came home from school and mentioned that an author had visited that day. “Who was it?” I asked. A look of concentration briefly passed over his face as he tried to remember — Kit Pearson Ian and Deb Wallace to be replaced almost immediately by a growing smile and incipient giggle. Trying to imagine who would provoke such an instant and physical response, I asked, Sponsors “Was it Claire Mackay?” “That’s it!” he exclaimed. Amazon.ca Friesens Claire evoked that response in kids — and often adults — but her many other fine HarperCollins Canada attributes are noted in Peter Carver’s thoughtful tribute on page 16. (Peter mentions Rawlinson Moving & Storage TD Bank Group his favourites of Claire’s books.

EMAIL COMMENTS TO [email protected] Like us! facebook.com/kidsbookcentre Follow us! @kidsbookcentre WWW.BOOKCENTRE.CA FALL 2013 CANADIAN CHILDREN’S BOOK NEWS 3 OPINION GILLIAN O’Reilly Why the proposed changes to the Governor General’s Literary Award for Children’s Literature are good for illustrators Viewing the illustrations as a completely separate function of a picture book has a long pedigree. The American Library Association’s Randolph Caldecott Medal, established in 1937, goes only to the illustrator of the winning book. The Cana- dian Library Association’s Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon Illustrator’s Award, established in 1971, does the same. The original Governor General’s Literary Awards for Chil- dren’s Literature (given from 1949 to 1958) and the later Can- ada Council Children’s Literature Awards (instituted in 1975) were given to the author — going to fiction and non-fiction titles for older readers (Lost in the Barrens, The Nor’Westers, etc.). At that time, there were few picture books published in Canada and only a handful of illustrated books for older read- ers. With the blossoming of children’s literature, and especial- ly children’s picture books, beginning in the late 1960s and slowly developing through the 1970s, there was increased recognition of the role of illustration. The Canada Coun- cil instituted a prize for illustration as one of its children’s book awards in 1977. For the next two years, there was one prize for English text, one for French text and one for illus- tration regardless of language.

The books you read will be used in your English class during the first few weeks of the first trimester. As you read, we urge you to remember that the art of reading is a creative act, a collaboration between reader and writer. Hold a dialogue with these books: question, argue, disagree; underline those passages that exhilarate you as well as those that infuriate you. Keep a notebook to jot down your imme- diate responses to each of these works and write questions that you want to discuss in your English classes. Encourage your family and friends to join you in these reading experiences. A number of the books on this list have been made into movies, many of them wonderful in their own right. Seeing a movie instead of reading the book, however, will not prepare you for your teacher’s assignment related to that book, nor will it replace the unique experience of interacting with a specific text.
