When I Was Small, Where You Came From, When You Were Small

On April 4, 2012, I reviewed Sara O'Leary's delightful picture book When I Was Small, illustrated by Julie Morstad, published by Simply Read Books (2011).

Today, I learned that When I Was Small is just the newest of three books by Sara O'Leary and Julie Morstad which are all based on young Henry and his curiosity.  The three books are:

All Good Children

by Catherine Austen
Orca Book Publishers
978-1-55469-824-0
300 pp.
Ages 14+
2011
 
Having reviewed All Good Children on January 3, 2012, I can't believe I failed to note this book trailer for Catherine Austen's YA dystopian novel. But, now that it has garnered much more attention, winning the Canadian Library Association's 2012 Young Adult Book of the Year Award and short-listed for the 2012/2013 Stellar Award (British Columbia's Teen Readers' Choice Award), it's a perfect time to re-acquaint readers with this book, through a book trailer.  Enjoy.
