March 6 is World Read Aloud Day, an initiative of Lit World. In honor of literacy, I asked two Annick picture book authors to share their thoughts on what makes a good read-aloud book and why reading aloud with your kids (or someone anyone's kids!) is important.
Reading aloud is such a simple act and yet it's a wonderful gift to give a child or group of children. Wrapped up with the joy of story is the cadence of language, the organization of ideas, the flow of narrative, the expansion of vocabulary (all those words one skips over when not quite sure what they are--even as an adult!) and the exposure to ideas they may or may not choose to read about on their own. The kids don't need to know that of course. They'll just take what they can in their own way.
Once a child is used to being read to, all kinds of stories are possible. If you are just beginning, however, here are some quick guidelines:
Picture books: a story in which the child can actively participate, engaging illustrations, lively language, repetition, action and humor.
Chapter books: a story that immediately draws the child into the world of the young hero or heroine, a mix of dialogue/action/description and chapters that end with cliffhangers (which don't need to be scary--a puzzle or mystery works just as well).
Last week, Chloe Shantz-Hilkes was interviewed on CBC Radio's Here and Now program about her new book Hooked: When Addiction Hits Home. This collection of ten true stories is based on interviews Chloe conducted with people who, in their youth, lived with a parent or sibling who was struggling with addiction. Besides assuring readers with similar experiences that they are not alone, the book also provides a comprehensive Resources section for more information and help.
You can listen to Chloe's interview here:

Michael spoke in general about the economy: what it actually is, how kids (and adults) perceive it, and why knowing about money matters. His clear, down-to-earth explanations reflected the accessible, kid-friendly tone of the book itself. In the meantime, Kevin demonstrated that becoming financially literate doesn’t mean that kids can’t have fun. Using games, quizzes, charts, and humorous illustrations, he got everyone talking and thinking about the different paths money takes. Both authors are available for school visits. For more information, contact Kevin at kevinarts.blogspot.ca/p/school-visits-info.html and Michael at m_hlinka [at] hotmail [dot] com.
The two co-authors also did an interview with CBC's Metro Morning: click below to hear it!
Have you seen all the news lately about the discovery of the bones of England’s King Richard III? His skeleton was found lying under a parking lot in Leicester, a small town in the middle of England. Scientists would still be wondering whose bones they really were if it weren’t for DNA analysis.
It’s amazing to think of how many long-time mysteries we might now be able to unravel, thanks to modern technology and crime-solving. For instance, in my new book Bones Never Lie, I look at how DNA testing has also answered many questions about the fate of Marie Antoinette’s son. But there are lots of other tools and techniques that detectives use to solve mysteries and crimes that have puzzled historians for centuries.
For instance, CT (computed tomography) scans let doctors take a three-dimensional look inside a patient’s body. And these scans also gave archaeologists lots of clues about what might have caused the death of Egypt’s most famous monarch, King Tut. CT scans of Tut’s mummy revealed the bone disease that made it hard for him to walk, the king’s buck teeth and cleft palate, and much more.
Autopsy, deductive reasoning, archaeological techniques, and crime scene procedures are just some of the other techniques historians and detectives use to solve history’s mysteries. Probably my favorite story in the book is the case of Russia’s Grand Duchess Anastasia. For decades, the world wondered if she had survived the 1918 slaughter that killed the rest of her family. Many people believed that a woman who became known as Anna Anderson was actually Anastasia.
In the days before modern technology, methods such as handwriting analysis, dental records, ear matching, facial comparison, and more were all used to try to establish Anna’s true identity, with no definite conclusions. Years after Anna’s death, using DNA testing, scientists revealed that—sorry, but you’re going to have to read Bones Never Lie to find out the solution to that mystery!
I'm writing this while a snowstorm rages outside, and I must admit it feels a little strange to be talking about spring. However! Our Spring 2013 books will be hitting shelves soon, and are now available for review at NetGalley.com. Sign up for a free account to access e-galleys of any of our new titles.
If you're looking to entertain younger children, you'll find a new pair of adorable board books from Hazel Hutchins, Cat Comes Too and Dog Comes Too. The picture book What The Snakes Wrote tells the charming story of some snakes who form words with their bodies to enlist the help of the farmyard dog, Rufus, to save their winter hibernation hole. Rufus can't read, but he can tell that the snakes are acting strangely, so he finally manages to alert the farmer to their plight. Finally, When I Was Eight is a picture book version of our hugely popular memoir Fatty Legs, so that younger readers can experience and empathize with Margaret's trials as she learns how to read at a residential school.
We've got lots of fascinating non-fiction for middle school readers, from how modern forensics can solve mysteries from the past (Bones Never Lie), to certain plants that started wars, cured diseases, or made mass transportation possible (10 Plants That Shook the World), to why things cost what they do and what happens after you spend money (Follow Your Money) and what jobs you can have behind the scenes in show business (Showtime). Native Americans: A Visual Exploration is a dynamic pictorial guide to Native American peoples, and The Arab World Thought of It explores the many inventions and innovations of the Arab peoples.
For older readers, War Brothers is a visually stunning exploration of life as a child solider in Uganda. Originally published as a novel in 2008, this graphic novel adaptation gives new life to a subject that is both emotionally challenging and greatly important. Finally, Hooked: When Addiction Hits Home tells ten true stories from the perspective of a teen living with a parent or sibling who is struggling with addiction (to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or food).
We're very excited about our Spring 2013 titles, and we hope you enjoy them, too!

It's been a busy week! From Jan. 25-28, we were in Seattle, Washington for the ALA Midwinter conference. At booth 2607, we busily handed out excerpts of our new graphic novel War Brothers, talked about our free Book Talks for interactive white boards, and introduced librarians to our Spring 2013 and key backlist titles. It was gratifying to have so many people come into the booth already familiar with our books (Fatty Legs was a big hit!).

And then today (Jan. 31), I went to the OLA Super Conference to assist with some author signing events at our distributor Firefly's booth, #706. We had Ed Butts signing Bodyguards and Claire Eamer signing The World in Your Lunch Box, and both were out of books within an hour!

Next week, we'll be showing off our brand new Spring 2013 titles, as well as last year's titles and key backlist, at the ALA Midwinter meeting in Seattle, Washington. Annick Press is at booth 2607: come pay us a visit to see what's new and snag a few beautiful bookmarks.
Here's a sneak peek of one of our Spring 2013 titles: War Brothers. It's a graphic novel about a group of young boys in Uganda who are kidnapped from their boarding school and forced to join the Lord's Resistance Army. Terrifying yet hopeful, I dare you to read this book and not be affected.
We will be exhibiting at booth 2607 on: Friday, January 25: 5:30 pm–7:00 pm Saturday, January 26: 9:00 am–5:00 pm Sunday, January 27: 9:00 am–5:00 pm Monday, January 28: 9:00 am–2:00 pm
Take advantage of these useful links to make the most of ALA Midwinter:
Here's a nice video to end the week with: Ruth Ohi joins panelists Lana Button and Shelley Stagg Peterson on TVO Parents to discuss books for preschoolers. They talk about why reading with your child is important, how to enrich story time, and what makes a good picture book. Ruth also talks about her creative process as a children's author and illustrator.
They wrap up with some great recommendations for ages two to five, so it's worth watching till the end!
When making New Year's resolutions, most people focus on health: start the Couch to 5K running program, quit smoking, take up yoga or join a gym, learn how to make healthier, more nutritious meals.
But how about some bookish resolutions, too? After all, you'll need something to read while recovering after your jog, or to distract you when you have a nicotine craving, or while dinner's in the oven...
Bookish Resolution #1: Read more How many books did you read in 2012? Were you keeping track? If you'd like to set yourself a personal reading challenge this year, become one of over 130,000 readers who have accepted the Goodreads 2013 Reading Challenge. You can pledge to read ten books, or fifty--it's all up to you. (And you can see which books your friends are reading for the challenge, if you need some ideas!)
Bookish Resolution #2: Expand your literary horizons If you're a fan of paranormal romances, why not mix it up with some non-fiction? If you like historical fiction, throw your brain a curve ball with some futuristic science fiction or a gritty dystopian tale. And if you haven't picked up a young adult book or a graphic novel recently, you might be missing out on lots of great stories! No matter what you normally read, make it a goal to try at least one book that's outside your comfort zone this year.
Bookish Resolution #3: Experiment with e-books I love books, in all formats. There's a time and a place for trade paperbacks, mass market paperbacks, hardcovers... and yes, e-books. If you've staunchly insisted that only paper books are "real books," how about seeing what all the fuss is about? You don't need to invest in an e-reader right away: just download Adobe Digital Editions (free!) on your computer, or if you have a smartphone or tablet, install a free book app (there are lots to choose from). You'll find a wide selection, from free public domain books to the latest blockbusters. In fact, your main problem will be deciding what to read first!
Here's a video from Open Road Media of famous authors discussing e-books:

Are you giving someone a tablet or e-reader for Christmas? Or do you know a book addict who already has one that goes everywhere with them? If so, how about giving them an e-book or two for Christmas? (Bonus: you don't have to wrestle with crowds or stand in long lines. In fact, you don't even have to leave your house!)
Open Road's Gift of E website has a great selection of e-books, plus easy-to-follow instructions for how to gift an e-book to someone, no matter what device they're using. Check out their video:

Here's what Alice has to say about the process of both illustrating the book and creating the trailer:
One of the most amazing things about creating the illustrations for Out on the Ice in the Middle of the Bay is how colorful they turned out to be. The landscape is made up of ice and snow and two of the main characters are polar bears, so you’d expect to see a lot of white in the images, but the story takes place at the end of the day (“the sun was shining red on the snow...”) and all that white reflects the colors of the sunset.
The changing colors help to convey the moods of the story, too, I think. When the story begins and the mother bear is nursing her cub, the sky is all gold and pink and mauve, but as the suspense builds, the sky deepens to a glowing red, and then finally to cold blues and purples as father and daughter are left alone on the ice.
But despite the drama that unfolds, the story has a gentle tone (it’s a great story for reading aloud—it has the reassuring rhythms of a folk tale), so I wanted the illustrations to reflect that as well. Working in colored pencils with layered colors, I avoided outlines, concentrating on areas of light and shadow to convey the forms of the figures and landscapes in a softer way. And I added an Inuit art inspired frieze across the bottom of each page to give the book a timeless folk tale feel.
It was that frieze that became a jumping off point for creating the book trailer. Giving it movement so it scrolls across the page was an obvious first step, and then that suggested the gentle drift of other elements as well, and a series of “what if” ideas: what if some of the scrolling text goes behind the iceberg; what if the polar bears are actually running?
Music brings a whole other dimension to the trailer, and I chose it carefully. It couldn’t be too bright and sunny or too dark: like the art, it had to work with both the drama of the plot and the gentle tone of the narration. I actually chose the music before I began editing, so the timing of the edits could match the phrasing of the melodies. It was so interesting to see how adding music and movement to the artwork in the trailer helped to convey the atmosphere of the book.

Last night, the Canadian Children's Book Centre and TD Bank Group put on a dazzling gala at the Ritz-Carlton hotel to celebrate Canadian children's literature. Before the awards presentation, authors, illustrators, publishing and media professionals, and avid readers of all stripes mingled over a delicious buffet and signature martinis. Here are some Annick authors and illustrators enjoying the night:
Author Kate Cayley, right, with her friend Simone
Authors Kathy Stinson (L) and Andrea Wayne von Königslöw ham it up for the camera
Annick was fortunate to have a number of authors nominated: Edeet Ravel for Held (John Spray Mystery Award), Kate Cayley for The Hangman in the Mirror (Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People), and Rafal Gerszak and Dawn Hunter for Beyond Bullets (Norma Fleck Award for Canadian Children's Non-Fiction).
The awards ceremony was a lively affair, skillfully hosted by CBC's Garvia Bailey (Big City, Small World). It was wonderful to hear the awards presenters re-affirm the importance of literacy and children's books, and to see the authors and illustrators recognized for their contributions to Canadian children's literature.
We are very proud to announce that Kate Cayley won the Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction. The jury described her winning book, The Hangman in the Mirror, as follows:
“A truly captivating piece of historical fiction that brings to life the gritty realities of life in 18th century New France... Cayley’s skills as a playwright are evident in the way the novel reads... The setting is so vivid and Cayley masterfully depicts the extreme disparity between the lives of the rich and the poor... Françoise is a delightfully multi-dimensional and very realistic character and Cayley does a fabulous job of capturing the essence of life at that time... A thoroughly engaging story that keeps readers riveted.”
Kate Cayley accepts her award for The Hangman in the Mirror
The other winners were:
TD Canadian Children's Literature Award: Trilby Kent, Stones for My Father (Tundra)
Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award: Genevieve Cote, Without You (Kids Can)
Norma Fleck Award for Canadian Children's Non-Fiction: Susan Vande Griek (ill. Karen Reczuch), Loon (Groundwood)
John Spray Mystery Award: Rob Mills, Charlie's Key (Orca)
Monica Hughes Award for Science Fiction and Fantasy: P.J. Sarah Collins, What Happened to Serenity? (Red Deer Press)
You can read more about all the nominees and winners on the CCBC website. Be forewarned: your to-be-read pile is about to grow by leaps and bounds!
A big thank-you to the jury members, who had some very tough decisions to make, and another round of congratulations to all of the nominated authors and illustrators, and the teams that worked on their books!

Last week, our production manager Heather was manning the Annick booth at the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) annual convention in sunny Las Vegas. It was her first time in Vegas, and while she didn't have any luck at the slots, she said that the city lived up to its reputation of being larger than life.
Heather also reported that the attendees were enthusiastic about Annick and its titles, and were especially interested in People Who Said No: Courage Against Oppression. Teachers praised it for its international focus, as well as its curriculum relevance. If you'd like to review a copy, you can click here to find it on NetGalley.

On Monday, author/poet/illustrator Loris Lesynski paid a visit to Orange Lounge to record five of her children's books: one picture book (Boy Soup) and four books of verse (Crazy About Soccer, Dirty Dog Boogie, Nothing Beats a Pizza, and Zigzag). Although she prefers reading her work aloud to children--especially when they read along with her--she enjoyed the chance to practice old favorites and try out the as-of-yet unperformed poems in Crazy About Soccer. (She also made friends with the charming office dog, Jack, who convinced her to throw his ball a few times.)
Here are a few snapshots of the day:

Today's post comes from illustrator Gosia Mosz. She reveals the story behind the characters Cat and Dog, who will appear in an upcoming pair of board books written by Hazel Hutchins. Gosia shares:
When I started my sketches for the book Cat Comes Too, my neighbour's cat could smell a great opportunity. He came to see me and posed for the first sketches! :) Of course, not for free, but for a bowl of sweet cream or other tidbit. Does someone know a disinterested cat? (Send me pictures please!)
The dog character wasn't so easy. There were those who did hang around like extras at a film casting--some very big, some small and shaggy, but none were right for Dog Comes Too. I had to excite my imagination--a little coffee with milk and chocolate cookies helped and here we have our happy puppy bravely running through meadows!
I am convinced that our little heroes Cat and Dog will make kids laugh.
Gosia also sent us some photos of her workspace and sketches from the books. Consider this an early sneak peek! You can click on any of the photos above to go to the photo set on Flickr. This one is my personal favorite... is Cat about to steal a cookie?
OK, so none of these books actually have anything to do with Halloween. However, they are all definitely spooky, creepy, or scary in their own right. And the first four are available as e-books, too!
Erebos What if instead of playing a game, the game plays you? In this thrilling page-turner, an addictive computer game has a sinister agenda... and is using teenagers to act out its evil goals in the real world.
Held While on a high school vacation in Greece, Chloe is kidnapped and held for ransom. Will she ever be reunited with her family? And is she really falling for her kidnapper, or is she suffering from Stockholm syndrome?
The Night Wanderer Sixteen-year-old Tiffany is bored living on the Otter Lake reservation. Until one day, her dad rents out her room to a boarder who seems a little... odd. By the time Tiffany discovers he's a vampire, will it already be too late?
Leslie's Journal Leslie is thrilled to be Jason's girlfriend: he's cute, he's popular, what's not to like? But appearances can be deceiving. Jason's abusive, controlling behavior starts slowly, but then before she knows it, Leslie finds herself in grave danger.
The Pact of the Wolves A boarding school built on the site of a medieval convent with a violent past. A secret society. A mysterious death... or was it murder? New student Bianca must solve the mystery, but she can trust no one...

A full list of the nominees can be found on the Quill and Quire blog. It's definitely worth reading--especially if you're eager to get a jump start on your holiday shopping...
And the nominees from Annick are... (drumroll, please)
You would think after having a few books published I’d be less of an obsessive book-geek-fan... but nope. I’m just as fascinated with books and the people who write them as ever. So, imagine how excited I was to find out my favourite Annick Press author was going to be at Word on the Street in Lethbridge with us! Not only did I get my copy of The Night Wanderer signed, but I found out that Drew Hayden Taylor is more than just a Canadian literary treasure; he’s also one of Canada’s coolest authors. My sides still hurt from laughing so hard. --Christy Jordan-Fenton

Not even the sudden downpour and brisk wind could dampen the spirits of the crowd at Sunday's Word on the Street. Luckily, there were enough sunny periods when people could browse at leisure among the many booths filled with the latest books. The Annick booth was a popular stop as children spotted their favorite titles by Robert Munsch, including the newest board books based on his stories. Also in demand were books by Sarah Tsiang who read two of her titles, The Stone Hatchlings and a Flock of Shoes to a rapt audience in the Children's Reading Tent.
