    1 Alphabet Books Through the Ages “Of all the achievements of the human mind, the birth of the alphabet is the most momentous.” – Frederic Goudy, type designer. In 1658, Johann Comenius’s picture book Orbis Sensualium Pictus was published. It was the first time the alphabet provided the cohesion for a set of themed pictures and illuminated sounds. Thus, the alphabet book was born. Here is a selection of English language alphabet books from the late 18th century to the present day. These books illustrate the changes in alphabetic education for young children in England, the United States, and Canada. The authors and illustrators who created these books were influenced by the political and social contexts of their worlds. For example, there is a gap in our display for the 1940s. Publishing declined dramatically during the war and took a few years to regain its earlier production. This exhibit reflects this. Alphabet book creators were also constrained by the printing technologies and the publishing industries they worked within. As both printing and publishing changed and advanced, so too did the alphabet books being produced. These changes over time are evident in the printed pages seen in this display. The alphabet book as a learning tool has taken innumerable forms. Its prime purpose is to unlock the symbols, sounds, and uses of letters for small children. The “A is for Apple, B is for Ball…” pattern of letter, word, and image to match has been produced in a variety of ways. The exhibit showcases alphabet books from the last two centuries representing this variety.

  • An Interview with Julie Flett —Jane Newland
    Seeing through the Dark, Breaking through the Silence: An Interview with Julie Flett —Jane Newland Swampy Cree and Red River Métis children’s author and illustrator Julie Flett began her literary career in 2004 when she illustrated The Moccasins, written by Ktunaxa First Nation author Earl Einarson. Having illustrated for many Indigenous authors, Flett has since begun to author and illustrate her own children’s books, notably Lii Yiiboo Nayaapiwak lii Swer: L’alfabet di Michif / Owls See Clearly at Night: A Michif Alphabet, published in 2010 and for which she received the Christie Harris Illustrated Children’s Literature Prize and was nominated for the Governor General’s Award for Children’s Literature. More recently, Flett received the prestigious TD Canadian Children’s Literature Award for Birdsong. Here, I present an interview conducted with Julie Flett in May 2019 capturing her thoughts on her work and specifically on her first authored children’s book Lii Yiiboo Nayaapiwak lii Swer: L’alphabet di Michif / Owls See Clearly at Night: A Michif Alphabet. In the pages that follow the interview, I offer context on the trajectory of her work to date and my reflections on our conversation and Flett’s artistic and literary story to date.1 When Flett very kindly agreed to speak with me, we began our conversation discussing her inspirations behind Lii Yiiboo Nayaapiwak lii Swer: L’alfabet di Michif. This bilingual alphabet book celebrates the Métis language, Michif. Michif is “a unique blend of Cree (Nēhiyawēwin) and French (Français) with some Saulteaux dialect of Ojibwe (Nakawēmowin; Anishinaabemowin)” (Flett, Lii Yiiboo).

  • April-June 2021 Catalog
    ORCA BOOK PUBLISHERS Spring 2021 | April to July A note from our publisher: Happy Spring 2021! If you are reading this it means that we have all likely made it through what has been a remarkably strange and challenging year. Through all of the turmoil of the last few months, I have been able to see some silver linings to all that we have been through. While the pandemic has hugely impacted everyone’s daily life, we have seen that it has also managed to bring us closer together. The caring and consideration that has shown up in even the most mundane situations has given us cause to pause and refl ect. And the isolation we have endured has also enabled us to spend more time in the quiet, more time reading, and we’re making more meaningful connections when the opportunity arises. All of that to say that, as life returns to normal, I hope that that sense will follow us. We see it in the books we publish, in the discussions we have with colleagues, in our 9781459828797 HC $19.95 interactions with creators, customers and colleagues. There are many new titles in this catalogue. I urge you Wearing masks is about to take your time leafi ng through, and to see what resonates. caring for others. I would also ask you to think of the young readers in your life and to try and connect with them through books. This is an important time as we hopefully come back together, stronger than ever. With our new awareness there are myriad opportunities to make a real lasting difference in our lives and in wider society, now more than ever.
