ForeWord Magazine Children's Picture Book of the Year Award Alberta Book Illustration Award winner, Saskatchewan Book of the Year Award Finalist, Canadian Library Association Children's Book of the Year Award Finalist, Canadian Booksellers Association Illustrator of the Year Award Grandmother Bones has wound down like a clock. Gone are the tick and tock of her youth. Gone are the days when she laughed with family and friends. Now she creaks when she hobbles, and she spends her time talking to her tired old bones as if they were her children. Not even her husband can wind her up again. The people in Grandmother Bones's village stop by often to check on her. They bring her rich berry pies to tickle her tongue. They make merry music to wake her sleeping feet. They carry stones like jewels to set in her windows and catch the afternoon sun. But always she is the same - no tick or tock. Grandmother Bones seems lost to everyone. What more can her husband and the villagers do? The Bone Talker is the captivating story of how small gestures carry the greatest meaning. It is the irresistible tale of how a cloud of melancholy is lifted by the hand of a child. The Bone Talker now in Braille: The CNIB Library has announced its 2006 Catalogue of PrintBraille Books for Children, and The Bone Talker is among the selections. This library chooses "high quality children's picture books and transcribes the text into braille . . . the library selects books that allow the reader to understand the story without having to see the illustrations."
