Toronto, ON: Tundra Books, 1985. Soft cover. Very Good. Cohen, Sheldon. Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to pages on inside edge; otherwise absolute minimal wear; Decades ago, Roch Carrier read a story from his childhood on the CBC. It was about a moment he thought captured what it was like to grow up in rural Quebec. The story came to an artist named Sheldon Cohen, who took up the challenge of making it into a great short film ... And that was the beginning of a remarkable journey for Roch, Sheldon and this most classic of Canadian tales.

Synopsis

Roch Carrier is Canada’s National Librarian and the beloved author of many Canadian classics for both adults and children. In 1968 he published his hugely successful novel, La Guerre, Yes Sir!. He has written many novels, short stories, plays, film and television scripts, essays, travel books, and poetry. Several of his works have become classics and are used in schools and universities around the world. His much-loved children's story, The Hockey Sweater, remains a timeless favorite. In 1991, Roch Carrier was awarded the Stephen Leacock Award for Humour for Prayers of a Very Wise Child. Among his many other awards and honors, Mr. Carrier is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, an Officer of the Order of Canada, and the holder of many honorary doctorates. All this from the boy who grew up in a village with no library and no books. Now the village has a brand new library – the Roch Carrier Library.
