Stan Douglas is one of Canada's leading filmmakers and installation artists. His work, which has been widely exhibited throughout the world and at three Venice Biennales, touches on themes of modernism, politics, race, music, cinema, and theatre. This book features images and stills from Douglas' most recent works: Artists' Cabin, Olde Curio Shop, Kardynal Shoes, Tosi Foods, Crowds and Riots, Midcentury Studio, and Disco Angola. It also includes images from two much-anticipated works: a new video piece and Helen Lawrence, a cinematic stage production. A series of essays discussing Douglas' influences and themes as well as texts by the artist himself, round out this impressive book.

It's springtime in this charming, busy town and there is a lot going on! A house gets a top to bottom spring cleaning and farm fields are being prepared for planting. People are shopping, commuting to work, constructing buildings, and meeting friends. If you look closer, you'll recognize the same characters appear on every page, each with their own story. There's Wilfred the jogger slipping on a banana peel and his friend Erica who comes to help him. Three cheerful nuns shop, chat, and share a snack at the cafe. A stork surveys all the activity from the sky while a mischievous fox scampers through the streets. In the tradition of Richard Scarry and Where's Waldo, this book encourages kids to return again and again to each spread, following along with the characters and inventing their own stories. They'll recognize parts of their own world, while also learning about the endless ways we live, work, and play in the spring.

Winter has arrived and everywhere you look people are embracing the season. At home there's baking, reading, and sleeping in, while on the farm the fields are fallow and quiet. Outside people are bundled up against the cold as they are skating, sledding, and running to catch a crowded bus. The town's buildings are alive with activity-piano lessons, a dentist appointment, shopping for presents, and visiting the museum. And if you look closer, you'll recognize the same characters on page after page, each with their own story. Wilfred the jogger has lost his keys, and Erica is shopping for a Christmas tree. Each minutely detailed scene is bursting with different people, such as a cheerful lady with an umbrella, and a young violinist, as well as animals and birds. In the tradition of Richard Scarry and Where's Waldo, this book encourages kids to return again and again to these charming spreads, following along with the characters and inventing their own stories. They'll recognize parts of their own world, while also learning about the endless ways we live, work, and play in the winter.
