Commentaire descriptif

These stories, told from the point of view of nine fictional 12-year-olds, introduce readers to pivotal periods in Canadian history between 1620 and 1979. Together, they produce a rich and unparalleled portrait of Canada, filled with the details of children’s everyday lives. Gracing its pages are stories of Aboriginals, Habitants, pioneers, the Underground Railway, a Vietnamese refugee, the Dust Bowl and Japanese internment camps. A two-page photo essay follows each story, peppered with archival images for additional insight into the period. Each seven-page account seamlessly weaves the details of daily life—food, clothing, home, transportation—into a narrative that showcases the concerns and experiences of a child living in that time. The stories are divided into three chapters: morning, afternoon, evening. Each story begins with a full-colour portrait of the protagonist. Title, subtitle and quotations are colour-matched to the borders of the story. As a read-aloud, these engaging stories offer children a window on another place and time, and illustrate that although the characters’ lives are different, the feelings and emotions they experience are not so different from their own.
