Singily Skipping Along

by

Kidlit heavyweight Sheree Fitch of River John and world-renowned rug hooking artist Deanne Fitzpatrick of Amherst have teamed up to create a kids’ book about body movement called Singily Skipping Along .
Fitzpatrick’s rugs are on sale in an online auction (singilyskipping.ca) with all proceeds going toward L’Arche Atlantic, which is dedicated to homes, programs and support networks for people who have intellectual disabilities.
“I didn’t want those rugs to get sold off one by one. I wanted something special to happen to them,” says Fitzpatrick.
The rugs, each 38 centimetres by 38 centimetres, are “about being in the moment, about play.”

Sleeping Dragons All Around pb

by

In this classic children’s book, a girl wakes up in the middle of the night and wants some cake. But to reach the refrigerator, she has to tiptoe past a host of sleeping dragons, like Priscilla in her pink pantaloons, the punk rock dragon Fagan with spiky green hair, and Beelzebub (who sleeps in the tub). When she stubs her toe, the dragons wake up, and she has to think fast to befriend the dragons. <br/>
An award-winning bestseller first published in 1989, <i>Sleeping Dragons All Around</i> is back to spark the imaginations of a whole new generation. Sheree Fitch’s celebrated lipslippery poetry and Michele Nidenoff’s colourful illustrations combine to make one of the most delightful children’s books ever published in Canada. <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Sheree Fitch has read this book to audiences from sea to sea to sea in Canada, in the Himalayas, and along the eastern coast of Africa. Her first two books, <i>Toes in My Nose</i> and <i>Sleeping Dragons All Around</i>, launched her career as a poet, rhymster, and a « kind of Canadian female Dr. Seuss. » Fitch has won almost every major award for Canadian children’s literature since then, including the 2000 Vicky Metcalf Award for a Body of Work Inspirational to Canadian Children. She has over twenty-five books to her credit. Fitch’s home base is the east coast of Canada. She dances with dragons daily. <BR />
<BR />
Michelle Nidenoff’s illustrations have been featured in magazines and children’s books, including <i>The Canadian Children’s Treasury</i>. Among her credits is a bronze award from the Broadcast Design Association in Ontario. She lives in Toronto.

So Imagine Me

by

<p>From award-winning poet Lynn Davies comes her first collection for children. And there’s a twist: each of the poems in <i>So Imagine Me</i> has a secret. </p>
<p>The lyrical and playful text describes something from nature—flora or fauna or another phenomenon—that’s also hiding in the illustrations. Readers will puzzle over the words and pore over the detailed illustrations looking for clues. Some of the riddles might be easy, and some are definitely tricky. All of them will delight, entertain, and challenge, leaving readers of all ages with new facts to share and an urge to get out into nature to discover more mysteries.</p>

The City Speaks in Drums

Shauntay Grant’s playful spoken word-style poem and Susan Tooke’s vivid illustrations create a wildly energetic and appealing journey through the big, bright city.
