Children’s Bookadoption Agency
 
 
We maintain a STANDARD OF VERY GOOD OR BETTER with dust jackets if possible, and we deal almost exclusively in HARD BACK books.
Our SEARCHES ARE FREE and include not only internet search. We travel to search extensively both in the USA and abroad and we have developed cooperative relationships with dealers of similar interests throughout the world, which is why we are strong in editions from the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
We have an UNCONDITIONAL RETURN POLICY, as long as the book is in the same condition as we sent it.
We highly recommend that you view http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/3/7/t7-204-e.html.
Then click on "Celebrating Dayal Kaur Khalsa" and
then "Savoir Faire". You can reach the same site by going
first to the site of the National Library of Canada.
Barbara has been researching Dayal, her favorite children's author/illustrator, for the last ten years and delivered a
paper in July 1999 at the Library in conjunction with an exhibition of the Library's collection of Dayal's work.
She delivered the same paper at a seminar on Canadian Children's Literature at the University of Ottawa
previously in May 1999. You should enjoy reading the paper which is reproduced with illustrations at Savoir Faire. It is available in both English and French. Let us have your reaction.
