Picturing Canada: A History of Canadian Children’s Illustrated Books and Publishing (University of Toronto Press) has been shortlisted for the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences Book Prize, under the humanities category in English.
Authors Gail Edwards and Judith Saltman won IBBY Canada’s Frances E. Russell Grant–a $1,000 prize–in 2007.
