Illustrator about it
Michelle Lord The Mess We 9781947277144 I chose The Mess We Made because it was the first
Made picture book I was introduced to in the B.Ed. program.
January 19 Julia Blattman The avenues of discussion around conservation and
community blew my mind! I had no idea picture books
could be so powerful.
Brendan Kearney FISH 9780744021462 I chose this book as a response to issues of conservation,
and particularly enjoyed the geometric style of
January 26 illustration. Brendan wrote and illustrated to book,
which I always find is a very cool claim to fame! I would
like to do something similar,
Susan Verde I Am Human: Borrowed and I Am Human came into my life during a time when I was
A Book of Returned learning how to be supportive to my friend who suffers
Peter H. Reynolds Empathy from mental illness. It gave me something to help begin a
dialogue on the tough topic of depression and suicide.
February 2 This book is full of beautiful, pastel images that show the
interactions between our main character and the
components of their world. Candid expressions, both
written and pictorial, validate how those interactions
affect them.
Oliver Jeffers Here We Are 9780008380205 Here We Are, is full of matters of our Galaxy, the Milky
Way, and gives adults as much to wonder about as I’m
sure children would. I showed this picture book to a
February 9 group of my friends over a few drinks one evening at a
Strong Harbour Strings fundraiser, and as it passed from
hand to hand, I was in awe of each person’s engagement
and enthusiasm over the imagery and factual prompts.

Charlie Mackesy The Boy, The 978147357257 The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and The Horse is
Mole, The Fox, particularly important to me because I discovered it on
and The Horse valentine’s day! The messages within hit home on so
February 17 many levels, highlighting a collection of core qualities I
have come to value in friendships. With help from the
beautiful coloured sketches, sensitive truths about one’s
self broaden the dynamics of what relationships can be.
Karen Lynn Four Feet Two Borrowed and There is an image of a metal pale in Four Feet Two
Williams and Sandals Returned Sandals. In a class discussion, the question “what is this?”
Khadra was asked, and I replied “a metal pale”. I was startled
Mohammed when I realized that pale could be a bathtub, a bassinet
March 2 or a backpack to some families in other parts of the
Doug Chayka
world.
Florence Strang The Mindful Borrowed and The Mindful Turtle opens a discussion around
Turtle Returned mindfulness, and offers tools for self-regulation.
Kristen Thornhill During a time of great anxiety last semester, this
book allowed our class to connect through
March 9 identifying 5 things from our immediate
environment for each of our senses, even though we
were separated in our isolation. Some of my class
cried, and I cried because they were crying.
Antoine de Saint- The Little Borrowed and The Little Prince found its way onto my bookshelf at a
Exupéry Prince Returned serendipitous time. One of my friends is frustrated with
the dichotomy of their medical program, and their desire
to be creative. The Little Prince identify the complexity of
March 17 that dynamic, and the feelings that accompany it. I think
the book might bring my friend some comfort through
reaffirming familiar triggers. I was thrilled when I
discovered it had been made into a film in 2015, directed
by Mark Osborne, and is an absolutely phenomenal film.

Trudy Ludwig The Invisible Borrowed and The Invisible Boy is a fantastic book, with simple
Boy Returned illustrations that I think reflect the main character’s love
Patrice Barton of drawing (or perhaps, the main character represents
the illustrator’s experience with drawing!). It validates
March 26 feeling unseen and the sadness that can bring. It
promotes the powerful actions of including others who
feel left out and affirms how incredible one’s unique
talents are.
