Description
The article focuses on the winners of Governor General's Literary Awards for English language in the category of children's literature in the years 2001–2011; in search of the Canadian space, real or imaginary. The examples show the children's need of belonging, which is found in the bond with the land and sky.
L'auteure se concentre sur l'espace canadien, réel ou imaginaire, de l'ensemble de livres appréciés dans les années 2001-2011 par les Prix littéraires du Gouverneur général décernés dans la catégorie des livres de jeunesse par le Conseil des Arts du Canada. Les exemples choisis montrent le désir des enfants d'appartenir quelque part ce qui est présenté par l'intermédiaire de leur harmonie avec la terre et le ciel.
