Dreams of flying on JOMB:
Six weeks ago yesterday, in Woodstock, Ontario, eight year old Victoria Stafford finished her school day … then disappeared. As the days turned to weeks, Canadians coast to coast came to know Victoria and her family as we watched mother Tara McDonald’s daily efforts to keep the search for her daughter fresh in our minds. This despite mounting public criticism and suspicion of Tara herself.
Yesterday, we learned of Tori’s tragic fate … and of her mother’s innocence.
This episode of Just One More Book! is dedicated to little Tori Stafford, with heartfelt hopes for the healing of those she left behind.

The cheeky mother-replacement schemings of a disgruntled son and a crackerjack combination of collage, paint and cleverly carefree scrawling make this hilarious showdown between the delights of imagined control and the irreplaceable affection of a loving mom a pore-over-each-page favourite.

Thoughtful, unhurried narrative and rich, enveloping art capture the clutter and compassion of two celebrated sculptors, a fledgling robin’s rescue and the birth of a life-changing friendship.
You can learn more about sculptors Frances Loring and Florence Wyle here. Read about the recently published adult book, And Beauty Answers: The Life of Frances Loring and Florence Wyle, here.
Aha! I found a photo of their studio church on Glenrose Avenue!

The quote from Emily (Micahel Bedard and Barbara Cooney) referred to in this episode:
“What is poetry?” I asked.
… “Listen to Mother play. She practices and practices a piece, and sometimes a magic happens and it seems the music starts to breathe. It sends a shiver through you. You can’t explain it, really; it’s a mystery. Well, when words do that, we call it poetry.”

Sarah Ellis wrote A Prairie as Wide as the Sea, which you mention, and if only I’d known about Lucy’s new favourite series, I could have let you know that Sarah herself was in Lucy’s home town only just last week to talk about her newest Dear Canada book, Days of Toil and Tears!
Darn! That’s the second close call we’ve had with Sarah Ellis — Mark was moments away from interviewing Sarah following her keynote at ALA last year.
Lucy has already begged us to pick up Days of Toil and Tears so watch for her review here this autumn…
Thanks for listening, Carol. I’m sure our paths will cross sometime, seeing as we’re at the Green Door every Friday for dinner!
