New Canadian Kid + Invisible Kids
Two of the most produced, popular, and important Canadian plays for young audiences are back in an updated edition.
Boys and Girls Apart
This original book contributes significantly to an understanding of sexism by revealing a major arena for its formation - the play practices of children. This is the first sociological work to use children's drawings to make inferences about structured gender inequality. The author examines the situation in both capitalist and socialist societies, and provides specific strategies for restructuring children's play to counter gender-based inequalities. Samples of the children's art are supplied, in colour and in black and white.
Children in English-Canadian Society
“So often a long-awaited book is disappointing. Happily such is not the case with Sutherland’s masterpiece.” Robert M. Stamp, University of Calgary, in The Canadian Historical Review “Sutherland’s work is destined to be a landmark in Canadian history, both as a first in its particular field and as a standard reference text.” J. Stewart Hardy, University of Alberta, in Alberta Journal of Educational Research Such were the reviewers’ comments when Neil Sutherland’s groundbreaking book was first published. Now reissued in Wilfrid Laurier University Press’s new series “Studies in Childhood and Family in Canada,” with a new introduction by series editor Cynthia Comacchio, this book remains relevant today. In the late nineteenth century a new generation of reformers committed itself to a program of social improvement based on the more effective upbringing of all children. In Children in English-Canadian Society, Neil Sutherland examines, with a keen eye, the growth of the public health movement and its various efforts at improving the health of children.
Class Room Plays from Canadian History
Thirty brief plays dramatizing incidents from Canadian history, especially created for performance by children in the intermediate grades, with suggestions at the end for creating their own plays.
Making Play Just Right: Unleashing the Power of Play in Occupational Therapy
At the heart of Making Play Just Right: Unleashing the Power of Play in Occupational Therapy is the belief that the most effective way to ensure pediatric occupational therapy is through incorporating play. The Second Edition is a unique resource on pediatric activity and therapy analysis for occupational therapists and students. This text provides the background, history, evidence, and general knowledge needed to use a playful approach to pediatric occupational therapy, as well as the specific examples and recommendations needed to help therapists adopt these strategies.
Remembrance Day Plays for Schools and Communities
The historical plays in this resource contain age appropriate content that can be used to engage children in the stories of the struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs that Canadians of all walks of life endured in the dart and dangerous days of wartime.

Depicting Canada’s Children
Depicting Canada’s Children is a critical analysis of the visual representation of Canadian children from the seventeenth century to the present. Recognizing the importance of methodological diversity, these essays discuss understandings of children and childhood derived from depictions across a wide range of media and contexts. But rather than simply examine images in formal settings, the authors take into account the components of the images and the role of image-making in everyday life. The contributors provide a close study of the evolution of the figure of the child and shed light on the defining role children have played in the history of Canada and our assumptions about them. Rather than offer comprehensive historical coverage, this collection is a catalyst for further study through case studies that endorse innovative scholarship. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, Canadian history, visual culture, Canadian studies, and the history of children.
