Book excerpt: "What do CNET pop culture writer Bonnie Burton, Governor General Award-winning poet David Zieroth, journalist/novelist Sparkle Hayter, novelist/screenwriter John Patrick Gillese, and Canadian sport journalist Dick Beddoes have in common besides growing up on the Canadian Prairies? They were all first published in the Young Co-operator's Pages, a section of the Saskatoon-based farm newspaper, The Western Producer. Violet McNaughton, a women's advocate and editor at the Producer, created the club for young writers in 1927. It continued on, inspiring a love of literature and writing in children for nearly 60 years. Lily in the Loft is a picture book for children ages 6-9. It is a fictional story, set in 1947 Saskatchewan, based on the experiences of thousands of children across all the prairie provinces (and even some outside this region) who eagerly awaited "newspaper day" to see their words in print. To this day, former Young Co-ops keep in touch with each other via a Facebook group. This is a book of regional historical interest. However, it is also a universal story about perseverance and determination in reaching one's goals."--
