CBC.ca journalist Susan Noakes has posted a terrific roundup of the Governor General's Award candidates in children's literature, with reviews and profiles of all the nominees, including my From Then to Now: A Short History of the World. She concludes on the strength of these noms, that Canadian children's writers are taking a turn to the global and international that is also evident in Canadian fiction and non-fiction too.
I'd say it is the best coverage, but it's about the only coverage with this much detail.
