Ian Wallace, one of Canada’s best-known children’s book
creators, invites us to look inside his cabinet of curiosities,
which contains treasures from his decades of traveling the country
from sea to sea to sea, sharing stories with young readers. Over
the past forty years, Ian Wallace has made thousands of school and
library visits in tiny communities, towns and huge cities all
across this land. Some of these visits have inspired young readers
to become artists themselves; others have moved children to speak
or act in new ways; others have simply given rise to the laughter
and sheer delight that come from a good book. In return, Ian has
been the recipient of many gifts himself, from the wide range of
experiences he has had to the mementos made by young children or
artists in the communities he has visited. All these gifts come
together in his cabinet of curiosities — an eclectic and personal
collection that nonetheless represents and appreciates our rich and
varied land. Each double-page illustration shows a shelf in the
cabinet dedicated to a province or territory with the gifts or
special memories Ian has from that place — tamarack geese made by
Cree artists in northern Ontario, a fishing-stage facade from
Newfoundland, the giant Douglas fir trees in Cathedral Grove on
Vancouver Island, and much more. Always experimenting with new
techniques, Ian has illustrated the entire book in delicate
graphite pencil, achieving stunning light and shadow. This is a
beautiful and unusual contribution to Canada’s 150th birthday.
