Letter from the Editor
As 2017 comes to an end, it’s a time to reflect on the year gone by. Many of our recent accomplishments were due to the leadership and guidance of Sheila Barry, Past President of IBBY Canada. It’s with a very heavy heart that I report the news of Sheila’s passing on November 15. Sheila was an incredible publisher, leader, and mentor. I am overwhelming grateful that I got to know her for the short amount of time I did — and that IBBY Canada had a chance to experience her leadership and vision. In this issue, Mary Beth Leatherdale writes about Sheila’s impact on IBBY Canada and Canadian children’s publishing.

Remembering Sheila Barry 
It is with great sadness that we share the news that Sheila Barry, Past President of IBBY Canada, died on November 15, 2017, of complications from cancer. Although Sheila’s term was cut short by her illness, she had a great impact on the organization and will continue to inspire us in the future. Sheila encouraged us to reach out and make the IBBY circle wider, convinced that a robust membership of diverse voices and perspectives was key to the organization’s success.
