Not familiar with Groundwood Books? They are, hands down, one of the most progressive and socially-conscious international children’s publishers. To give you an idea of how well-received our books are, at present, six of the eight nominees for The Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children’s Book Awards are Groundwood authors! In other news, Leo Yerxa’s “Ancient Thunder” took home the 2006 Governor General’s award for “Illustrated Fiction”; Deborah Ellis’s “Three Wishes”, about the children of the war-torn Middle East, continues to blaze a trail through censorship; and, Brian Doyle, author of “Pure Spring”, has been selected to represent Canada at the 2008 Hans Christian Andersen Awards, which honours children’s authors and illustrators from around the world.
