Gone to Soon

by | Jul 2, 2009 | Sylvia McNicoll

Here’s my young looking boss and friend Tiziana Buttignol holding her grandson. I told her she looked like a filmstar breezing into Toronto for the festival. Although I’ve worked for her five years, most of our communication is by email.

Not surprising, I suppose, that I learned via email of her death Monday June 29. A heart attack should only happen to overweight smokers

or 92 year olds who have no one to look after them. It’s not fair.

And I still catch myself going to email her with ideas or articles I’ve seen that maybe could translate into a piece for our magazine. Her emails seem so alive to me.
Now the rest of us have the most difficult job of putting out an issue without her at the helm.

Sean Cassidy comes to Bruce T. Lindley School

by | Jun 19, 2009 | Sylvia McNicoll


Thursday, June 18 Sean Cassidy came to my local school where Hunter attends grade 2.  We were pretty excited since we love Gummy Toes and Sometimes it’s Good to be Small.  We also love his art in Wake up Henry and especially Hannah Bear’s Christmas.  Not knowing his schedule, I einvited him for lunch.  Lots of times, authors and illustrators have to drive straight off to avoid the rush hour crush. But we were lucky.  I also attended the “readings” which were more  interactive drawing and reading motivational talks for the young and restless.  I loved how the kids got right into it, bums in the air, tongues hanging out in concentration.  My photos don’t quite capture their enthusiasm and total absorption.  I drew too and that was fun.  Sean taught us all to draw expressions, happy, sad, angry and then by mixing up happy mouths with angry eyes to show other moods.

Although I always enjoy author or illlustrator talks, I really didn’t expect to have so much fun.

Snakes and lizards Ontario Science Centre

by | Jun 18, 2009 | Sylvia McNicoll


Today we were excited to attend the press sneak preview of the Snakes and Lizards exhibit at the Ontario Centre.  It was baby Jadzia’s first visit and she liked the Sparks section especially the baby portion with the blocks.

The we went to Budha Dog for Today’s Parent Toronto.  We love hot dogs and this was a sufficiently different kind of place, very eco and local produce.  Our conscience was fine eating 10 of the suckers.  Afterwards we had Polish pastries and William totally got into his cupcake.

Mustang Mortie

When we first got Mortie, he hated car rides.  He got over his fear to some extent on our road trip to New Brunswick.  This year he’s really enjoying the breeze through his fur in the Mustang with the top down.

Ride Mortie, Ride.
