10 Ontario School Library Association …continued from page 9 Look Where We Live! by Scot Ritchie Toronto: Kids Can Press, 2015 ISBN 9781771381024 In defining "quality education," T4L states that students must "understand deeply the importance of civic engagement" (29). In Look where we Live! author and illustrator scot ritchie helps young readers learn about being involved citizens by defining community and providing examples of how individuals, businesses and civic workers contribute to making life better for everyone. He talks about how kids can become involved through a range of activities such as visiting a senior citizen, working in a community garden, picking up litter, or even fundraising for a library! a puzzle-making activity for the four to seven year old target audience is included at the end of the book to help students see how the concepts they have learned apply to their own community. The book is perfectly tailored to complement the T4L ideal to "[c]onsciously connect learners with the local community organizations and resources" (31). Morgan's Boat Ride by Hugh MacDonald; illustrated by Anna Bald Charlottetown: Acorn Press, 2014 ISBN 9781894838962 Two key words in the vision for T4L are "exploration" and "communities" (6). In their twenty-eight page children's picture book, author Hugh Macdonald and illustrator anna Bald take Morgan and her dog, skipper, on an accidental journey down a river that gives them a chance to discover the landscape, the wildlife and the people along the way. Caring neighbours make sure this learning experience ends safely with a community celebration and with Morgan wondering what all the excitement is about. The Red Bicycle by Jude Isabella; illustrated by Simone Shin Toronto: Kids Can Press, 2015 ISBN 9781771380232 T4L describes the Learning Commons as a place that "[e]ngages the learner in rich, real-world tasks that interest and motivate" (23). In telling "the extraordinary story of one ordinary bicycle," The red Bicycle shows eight to twelve year old readers how they can donate bicycles that they no longer use to charities like world Bicycle relief (www.worldbicyclerelief.org) in order to make a significant difference in the lives of people in distant countries like Burkina faso. The thirty-two page picture book complements an illustrated fictional story with three pages about "what You Can do to Help" with photographs of how bicycles are used in africa. This addition to the Citizenkid series invites students to act to make a difference in the world.
