Abstract

My best known children's book is Sally Go Round the Sun: 300 Songs, Rhymes, and Games of Canadian Children (Toronto: McClelland & Stewart; New York: Doubleday, 1969). This is a large-size volume beautifully illustrated by Carlos Marchiori. It won the Canadian Association of Children's Librarians ' Award for the best book of the year, and it continues popular. All the items were from oral tradition, collected in 1958-1964 from Canadian children plus a few from adult friends who remembered them from their youth.
