This collection by noted historian Paul Yee is based on the tumultuous & brave history of the Chinese immigrants to North America. Drawing on the real background of the Chinese role in the gold rush, the building of the railway & the settling of the west coast in the 19th century, Yee has created 8 original stories that combine the rough-&-tumble adventure of frontier life with the rich folk traditions that these immigrants brought from China. These tales are funny, sad, romantic & earthy, but ultimately, as a collection, they reflect the gritty optimism of the Chinese who overcame prejudice & adversity to build a unique place for themselves in North America. They are accompanied by stunning & dramatic paintings by award-winning illustrator Simon Ng.

The study of children's illustrated books is located within the broad histories of print culture, publishing, the book trade, and concepts of childhood. An interdisciplinary history, Picturing Canada provides a critical understanding of the changing geographical, historical, and cultural aspects of Canadian identity, as seen through the lens of children's publishing over two centuries. Gail Edwards and Judith Saltman illuminate the connection between children's publishing and Canadian nationalism, analyse the gendered history of children's librarianship, identify changes and continuities in narrative themes and artistic styles, and explore recent changes in the creation and consumption of children's illustrated books. Over 130 interviews with Canadian authors, illustrators, editors, librarians, booksellers, critics, and other contributors to Canadian children's book publishing, document the experiences of those who worked in the industry. An important and wholly original work, Picturing Canada is fundamental to our understanding of publishing history and the history of childhood itself in Canada.
