developments in Canadian
publishing in the !ast decade has
been the emergence of a new breed
of Canadian writers for children:
authors who can reach out beyond
national boundaries to write stories
that have universal appeal to mod-
ern children anywhere in the
world.

These days, on Canadian juve-
nile shelves in bookstore, and
libraries, the traditional ,Indian
legends, animal stories and Anne
of Green Gables titles have been
joined by a fine selection of con-
temporary novels for young
readers,

Among the most promising of
these new authors is Sarah Ellis, a
Vancouver resident whose juvenile
novel The Baby Project was
published by Groundwood Press in
Gctober.

The book, which has earned ex-

girl whose life is changed by the
birth, and then the unexpected
loss, of a baby sister.

Though the story is tinged with
tragedy, this is not a sad book: the
scenes of family life are full of
humor and hope.

Sarah Ellis was formerly coor-
dinator of Children’s Services at
North Vancouver District Library,
and brings a wealth of experience
as a librarian, storyteller and critic
to her new career.

Currently a part-time librarian
at the Capilano Branch, she will
return to the main Lynn Valley
Library on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 1
p.m. to meet with fans both young
and old, to read from her book
and to sign autographs.

Children who remember Sarah's
Storytimes at Lynn Valley will not
want to miss her.
