Judy in July: Mine and Canada's 100th Birthday is written as a memoir of 1967. Seen through the eyes of a 10-year-old's 12 diary entries, it is a 32-page picture book that deals with the celebrations of that year. It's also a topic that lends itself to an introduction of a basic history of Canada. Any child who was in school that year learned at least two things: that Canada first became a country on July 1st, 1867 and that Sir John A. Macdonald was Canada's first Prime Minister. "It's a year you'll always remember!" remarked Grandma Florence and undoubtedly, she was right. Set within the comfortable settings of school and family life, the reader will follow the authorÕs family connections to learn how Canada was first discovered, what peoples settled it, and other information about Canada. Told from a child's viewpoint, it includes comments that adults might think, but only a child would make. Adults who lived through the era, might welcome the opportunity to share their memories with their own children and grandchildren. Designed as a flip-book, you can flip Judy in July to see in the right-hand margins, the Canadian flag waving, read the date of Canadian Confederation or see silhouettes of children marching. If flipped the opposite way, you can read in both languages the names of the provinces and territories as well as the dates they entered Confederation.
