<p><em>Windows and Words&nbsp;</em>is a collection of seventeen essays that confirms and celebrates the artistry of Canadian Children&#39;s Literature. There are essays that survey a wealth of English language fiction, from the internationally acclaimed work of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the aboriginal adolescent novel, to the increasingly multi-cultural character of children&#39;s books. Others examine book illustration, visual literacy, and the creative partnership seen in the picture book and its art design. With contributions by two Governor General&#39;s Award winning authors, Janet Lunn and Tim Wynne-Jones, and a final commentary by Elizabeth Waterson, the heart of this collection offers a unique perspective on the artistry of writing for children and claims a rightful place for Canadian children&#39;s literature as&nbsp;<em>literature</em>.</p>
