If you are plan to be in Montreal in mid-October, don’t miss the chance to score some fabulous art from some of Canada’s best children’s book illustrators. It’s a two for one score since you get great art and you’ll be supporting the Canadian Children’s Book Centre who promote and support children’s literature in Canada. They did this sort of auction a few years back in Vancouver and I came away with an original piece of art from Janet Wilson and it only cost me $50 (including a ticket for the wine and cheese social).
