While this isn’t directly related to the drawing side of my life, an award nomination is always worth mentioning!
My latest book, Canada Recycles, which I co-wrote with my wife Laura Suzuki, has been shortlisted for the Lane Anderson Award in the Young Readers category! The Lane Anderson Award celebrates the best science writing in Canada, and we’re delighted to be included in such company. There’d never been a book detailing recycling in Canada—and books about other regions were written years ago—so this project demanded a lot of primary source research to discover the current state of recycling of a variety of materials in Canada. It’s nice to be noticed: this sort of thing takes a lot of time to talk to the folks on the front line, assemble and then write in a friendly—and accurate—way.
So thanks to the Lane Anderson committee for putting us on the shortlist!
