| The
Boy from the Sun - Winner
of the Govenor General’s Award and the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz
Award
Three sad children, sitting on a sidewalk, are shown the beauty
of the world by a child with a glowing yellow head who drops out
of the sky. He takes them on a journey through a fantastic forest
and he leaves them in a state of serenity. The story allows for
multiple interpretations, but the overall message of hope, learning,
love, and value of nature are paramount.
The
story begins as if drawn by a child, then explodes with a child's
imagination drawn with the technical abilities of an adult artist
without the loss of the child's wonder and drive.
I would like to give special thanks the Northern Ontario Arts Council
for their support in granting me public money to turn this book
into an animated short film. This will be an ongoing project .
