It’s a book about a boy, his dad, his dog and their snow-day in the city.

It’s poetically written by James Gladstone and published by Groundwood Books.

I recommend it to anyone who, like me, enjoys taking long walks on snowy days.

The Hockey Song is inspired by Canada’s second, unofficial national anthem written by Stompin’ Tom Connors. It’s impossible to go to a hockey game anywhere in Canada without thinking about it, or hearing it for the matter.

My intention in illustrating this book was to basically ignore the references to professional hockey and instead focus on the game as a true, all-inclusive and very Canadian community activity.

Published by Greystone Books.

I’m an avid, life-long swimmer so turning this well-known children’s song into a picture book was a natural fit for me.

I dedicated it to my wife and family, as I always do. I also dedicated it to my favourite lifeguard, Alex, whom I regard as my swimming guru.

The New York Times gave it a nice review…
