 Ian Wallace’s wordless tribute to Canada on her 150thbirthday includes graphite illustrations of treasures from his forty years of traveling the country. He has made thousands of school and library visits inspiring young readers to become artists and he has received many gifts from the students. His cabinet of curiosities includes these gifts and other discoveries he has made. Each illustration is devoted to a province or territory – tamarack geese made by Cree artists in Ontario, a snow globe illuminating the moment he stood on the Arctic Circle, the English heraldic lion from Prince Edward Island, and much more. A table of contents and an introduction set the stage and detailed illustrator’s notes provide much information. mjw |
