Book Description
A memorable collection of weather sayings, beautifully arranged in story form and illustrated by renowned paper artist Elly MacKay. Red sky at night, sailor's delight. And, the next morning, when the dew is on the grass, no rain will come to pass. These are the perfect conditions for a grandfather to take his grandchildren out on a fishing trip. Especially since, as the saying goes, when the wind is from the West, then the fishes bite the best. The family takes a boat out on the lake, fishing and swimming and eventually camping out on a nearby island, taking full advantage of the gorgeous weather. But the next day . . . red sky in the morning, sailors take warning! The family ventures back home just in time to avoid a rainstorm. But not to worry -- the more rain, the more rest. Fair weather's not always best. Acclaimed paper artist Elly MacKay illustrates a lovely family narrative through the use of weather aphorisms, creating a beautiful and informational story which will appeal to children's timeless fascination with the natural world.

Book Description
"What do CNET pop culture writer Bonnie Burton, Governor General Award-winning poet David Zieroth, journalist/novelist Sparkle Hayter, novelist/screenwriter John Patrick Gillese, and Canadian sport journalist Dick Beddoes have in common besides growing up on the Canadian Prairies? They were all first published in the Young Co-operator's Pages, a section of the Saskatoon-based farm newspaper, The Western Producer. Violet McNaughton, a women's advocate and editor at the Producer, created the club for young writers in 1927. It continued on, inspiring a love of literature and writing in children for nearly 60 years. Lily in the Loft is a picture book for children ages 6-9. It is a fictional story, set in 1947 Saskatchewan, based on the experiences of thousands of children across all the prairie provinces (and even some outside this region) who eagerly awaited "newspaper day" to see their words in print. To this day, former Young Co-ops keep in touch with each other via a Facebook group. This is a book of regional historical interest. However, it is also a universal story about perseverance and determination in reaching one's goals."--
