I’m honoured by this feature article in The Canadian Children’s Book Centre’s Book News magazine. It was written with sensitivity by a writer I greatly admire—Heather Camlot. Her books are excellent, so please seek them out. In “A Road Less Travelled,” Heather speaks with illustrator Cathie Jamieson and me about how our unconventional teamwork shaped our new book, My Street Remembers.

Heather writes, “Relationships and connections are at the heart of My Street Remembers, through its marriage of words and illustrations and through the teamwork of the author and illustrator…. My Street Remembers is the result of distinct cultural identities and the sharing of perspectives. The book ends with the line, ‘What does your street remember?’ But the question is really an introduction, an invitation to readers to discover the diverse communities of their neighbourhood—past, present and future.”

You can read the full article by becoming a member of the CCBC—an organization well worth supporting—or by purchasing an individual copy.
