For anyone interested in children’s book illustration, this month is a milestone because Picturing Canada: A History of Children’s Illustrated Books and Publishing has finally been released by the University of Toronto Press . It’s the fruit of 11 years of research by Gail Edwards and Judith Saltman, plus their hordes of graduate students from the University of British Columbia. While there are about 60 reproductions of illustrations in this book, it is a scholarly study rather than a coffee-table book – but it is very readable and not boring in the least if you’re at all interested in the topic.

Generally, I rarely watch business news TV shows in America. They report risk and opportunities around the world from very limited and deceptive perspectives. They create an impression that because Ghana, South Africa, Brazil are developing or emerging economies, their risk profiles are more that what you have in US and Europe.
