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 .
