The Sweater
This video is an animated version of Roch Carrier's book, "The Hockey Sweater." It is set in the 1940s, when listening to the hockey game on the radio was a Saturday night tradition, as well as rooting for the Montréal Canadiens. All the boys worshipped Maurice "Rocket" Richard and proudly wore number 9 on their hockey sweaters. The boy in the story outgrows his hockey sweater, so his mother writes to Mr. Eaton for a new one. Instead of the coveted red, white and blue of the Canadiens, the company sends a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. Imagine the young player's chagrin when he shows up at the neighbourhood rink in the blue and white colours of the arch-enemy.

Casey at the Bat
Morse has reinvented the poem, Casey at the Bat, through strong visuals. Casey (a.k.a. KC) is a swaggering, cool young man and his Mudville 9 are a group of multiracial, inner-city kids who play ball. The ball ground is an urban jungle of chain link fences, concrete buildings and graffiti-covered walls. Morse stays true to the poem's spirit by the images of intensity, emotion and drama felt during the ball game.

Bobbie Rosenfeld. The Olympian Who Could Do Everything
This biography documents how Canadian Olympic medalist, Bobbie Rosenfeld, changed the way society viewed female athletes. As a young Jewish woman playing sports when it was unbecoming for a woman to be an athlete, Rosenfeld overcame many barriers. Rosenfeld immigrated to Canada in 1905 and became a star player in ice hockey and softball. She also excelled in tennis and track and field, leading Canada's relay team to an Olympic gold medal and winning a silver medal herself in the 100-metre event in 1928. Bobbie Rosenfeld is remembered not only for her athletic skills, but also for her kindness and her drive for equality. Dublin provides interesting tidbits about the Olympics, the different decades and the historical events that occurred from 1900-1950 both in Canada and the world.
This book was a finalist in 2004 for the Norma Fleck Award for Canadian Children's Non-Fiction.
