Billie is no stranger to risky situations, but when she attends a student protest at Columbia University with her college boyfriend, and the US is caught up in violent political upheaval, her mother decides to move the two of them to Canada. Furious at being dragged away from her beloved New York City to live in a backwater called Toronto, Billie doesn’t take her exile lightly. As her mother opens their home to draft evaders and deserters, Billie’s activism grows in new ways. She discovers an underground network of political protesters and like minds in a radical group based in Rochdale College, the world’s first “free” university. And the stakes rise when she is exposed to horrific images from Vietnam of the victims of Agent Orange – a chemical being secretly manufactured in a small town just north of Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuddenly she has to ask herself some hard questions.

See you soon...\n\nIn this delightful bedtime rhyme a young child bids good night to the moon, recalling all the familiar things surrounding her -- from her pillow, her book and her kitten to the swing outside, the robins in the trees and the starry night. Written by award-winning novelist and poet Pamela Porter, the book is complemented by the swirling, joyful and whimsical illustrations of Matt James, an acclaimed visual artist. The words and music for \"At the Gate of Heaven\" (\"A la puerta del cielo\"), a New Mexican lullaby, are included. \n\n\nPamela Porter was born in Albequerque, New Mexico. Her novel The Crazy Man has been a stunning success, winning the Governor General's Award, the Texas Institute of Letters Friends of the Austin Public Library Award for Best Yound Adult Book, the CLA Book of the Year for Children Award, the Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People, the TD Canadian Children's Literature Award, the Rocky Mountain Book Award, the Hackmatack Award, the OLA Golden Oak Award and the Manitoba Young Reader's Choice Award. She has written another children's novel, Sky, and has published two collections of poetry. Pamela now lives with her family in Sidney, British Columbia.\n\nMatt James is a painter, illustrator and musician. He held his first exhibition in 2003 and has contributed paintings and illustrations to numerous publications. Matt's band, Wayne Omaha, has toured Canada and released three full-length CDs. He grew up in Woodstock, Ontario, and now lives in Toronto.","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn this delightful bedtime rhyme a young child bids good night to the moon, recalling all the familiar things surrounding her.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","PrizeCodeText_0":"Winner","PrizeCodeText_1":"Short-listed","PrizeCode_0":"01","PrizeCode_1":"04","PrizeName_0":"New Mexico Book Awards - Children's Picture Book","PrizeName_1":"Governor General's Literary Awards: Illustration","PrizeYear_0":"2009","PrizeYear_1":"2008","ProductFormDescription":"trade paperback","PublicationDate":"2008-02-01","Publisher":"Groundwood Books Ltd","ShortDescription":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn this delightful bedtime rhyme a young child bids good night to the moon, recalling all the familiar things surrounding her.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","Width":"7.4","WidthCode":"in"}
