Victor's Pink Pyjamas is an engaging and humorous book that explores what it is like to make choices that are different from the cultural norm. In gentle ways, the story examines how people within Victor’s family and outside of it react to something “different” (some are supportive, some are not), and how Victor remains undaunted and empowered in the face of the various responses. The full-colour illustrations capture the playful yet respectful tone of the book beautifully.
In Jeremiah and the Letter e author David Giuliano and illustrator Meghan Irvine team up to create an engaging and humourous look at facing the ongoing challenges of life. There is always something new to learn, including how to listen to the small voice inside that encourages us to keep trying – with surprising results.
William Kimber grew up in the countryside of southern Ontario and has always enjoyed drawing and painting. For more than 40 years he has been a freelance illustrator working and living in Toronto. Almost all of his illustrations have been for young people.
Meghan Irvine lives in Huntsville, Ontario and spends her time as an artist and a teacher. She studied fine art in university and has exhibited her paintings, drawings, and sculptures in various galleries and shows throughout Ontario. As a lover of children’s books, she was thrilled to collaborate on this project.
A former moderator of The United Church of Canada, David Giuliano is a pastor, spiritual guide, and expressive arts facilitator. David has published more than 60 articles, essays, and poems. His 2008 book Postcards from the Valley: Encounters with Fear, Faith and God is in its second printing. He lives with Pearl, his beloved, on the north shore of Lake Superior. Sometimes he feels afraid.
Laura Alary is a teacher, preacher, storyteller and author. Born and raised in Halifax, she studied Classics at Dalhousie University, theology at Knox College, and New Testament at The University of St. Michael’s College, where she earned her Ph.D. More recently she has been pursuing a different kind of learning as the mother of three children.
Laura is always searching for creative ways to weave together her various interests. For instance, her background in biblical interpretation informs her writing, most notably in her book Is This Story True? Similarly, Laura’s love of scripture and the power of story informs her work as children’s worship coordinator at Guildwood Community Presbyterian Church and as a denominational trainer for the Montessori-based program Children and Worship.
Laura loves to sing, especially Mediaeval and Renaissance choral music, attempts to practise yoga and karate, and continues to write and publish picture books for children, including Jesse’s Surprise Gift, Mira and the Big Story, Victor’s Pink Pyjamas and How Do I Pray for Grandpa?.
