The second stamp in our Children’s Literature series honours author and illustrator Marie-Louise Gay and the imaginative and intrepid young Stella she brings to life with exquisite watercolours.
Stella, her brother Sam and their pet dog Fred explore the world around them, bringing readers along on their many adventures. The three spend a day in the forest, where Stella answers Sam’s questions about the forest’s inhabitants. They take a nocturnal walk to explore the moon and the stars in the company of racoons, fireflies and bats. They enjoy a winter escapade, complete with snowballs, snow angels, and snow-covered trees.
Marie-Louise Gay, one of Canada’s best-loved creators of children’s books, has published more than 60 titles and achieved international acclaim for her work. She has won many awards for her books, including the Governor General’s Literary Awards and the Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award, and has been nominated for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award and the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
