Aunt Olga's Christmas Postcards by Kevin Major
Anna's great-aunt Olga has collected Christmas postcards all her life. She's ninety-five, and many of the cards are very old. The holidays are the perfect time for Aunt Olga to share her postcards and her memories with her favorite niece. Decked out in red, Aunt Olga is ready for fun as she teaches Anna how to write her very own Christmas rhymes. Written with warmth and humor, this lovely story is a perfect starting point for discussions of the olden days, as well as a charming introduction to the joys of collecting.
Major, Kevin: - Governor General Award winner Kevin Major has published 17 books, for both young people and adults. His first, Hold Fast, is considered a classic of Canadian young adult fiction, and was recently released as a feature film. No Man's Land, about the Newfoundland Regiment in WWI, was published in 1995 to much acclaim. Major's adaption has been brought to the stage by Rising Tide Theatre for more than a dozen seasons. A history of Newfoundland and Labrador: As Near To Heaven By Sea was a Canadian best-seller and finalist for the Pearson Non-Fiction Prize. Ann and Seamus, a verse novel, was shortlisted for a total of ten awards. It has since been turned into an opera, which has been performed internationally. New Under the Sun, the first in a trilogy of historical novels for adults and called well written, nuanced, and compelling by Canadian Literature, was nominated for an Atlantic Book Award.
