Reviews
"""Saturday mornings are special, and this would be a great read on one of those weekend days. The front cover highlights an exciting and inviting scene filled with enthusiasm; it will draw young readers to pick this selection. I love the storytelling machine - what fun! The vocabulary is appropriate for this age group. The typeface is easy to read and the use of font color and background work well. This will be a fun read for 4-to7-year-olds. I love the ""Did you find?"" activity - this will further engage readers..."" ""Extremely creative design, especially when the reader learns how it was all created. The whimsical art is stunning and tells a fun story. The front cover is particularly pleasing to the eye and inviting with all the colors and moving parts."" ""Mr. Paterson has brought new meaning to the expression ""crafting a story""! This book and its illustrations have so much to absorb. Youngsters will enjoy the plethora of objects in each illustration. Seeing how Mr. Paterson created the illustrations was amazing as well as awe-inspiring."""
Author Information
James Paterson is an artist and writer who has spent his life creating and implementing ideas originating deep within his heart and imagination. His wire creations, known as Prayer Machines and Engines of Joy emerge deep from within childhood experiences growing up in the culturally vibrant and visually textured Kensington Market neighborhood in Toronto, Canada. These whimsical wire machine-like objects evolved during a 3-year sojourn in Europe. They seek to bring joy and delight through their swirling shapes, vibrant colours and moving parts, while giving expression to the mystery. Large signature pieces have been commissioned for The Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto, Canada), The University Hospital Cleveland Medical Center (Cleveland, Ohio), the Lucille Packard Children's Hospital (Palo Alto, California) and Conrad Grebel University College (University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Canada). The book Saturday Morning is inspired by the Storytelling Machine, a large, colourful, interactive wire sculpture James created that tells the story of two brothers and their Saturday morning adventures. James and his wife, Lynn, currently reside in the beautiful Georgian Bay region of Ontario, Canada.
