Some websites of interest. For additional lists see the ‘Favourite Sites’ on the right side of the blog~

Canada Council for the Arts - Governor General Award Winners

The Canadian Children’s Book Centre (especially their annual Best Books for Kids and Teens edition)

Caldecott Medal (American)-lots of good stuff on this site, including the 2010 winner, and all previous winners

American Society of Illustrators – a bit of an ego deflator…but well worth every minute you spend on this site

Gorey Details – a great site for Michael Sowa publications & cards (more about Him later), and…Edward Gorey

Anita Kunz is one of my favourite illustrators, and she’s Canadian. Even if  you’re not familiar with her name, I promise you’ve seen her amazing work on a magazine cover.

Michael Neugebauer-Miniedition~amazing European publisher

Curious Pages: Inappropriate books for children, by the Stinky Cheese Man himself, Lane Smith. Hilarious and packed with great selections/reviews.

Lane Smith’s Closet: This guy is ridiculously talented. I hate him.

Lines and Colours – very cool illustration/art blog site…in spite of the fact they refuse to spell colour with a ‘u’

Hunting of the Snark – Mahendra Singh’s illustrator’s/snark blog

stay tuned…
