One of Toronto's hidden gems is the TD Gallery at the Toronto Reference Library. The gallery's I Am Canada: Celebrating Canadian Picture Book Art showcases original artwork from classic Canadian children's books including The Hockey Sweater and The Paper Bag Princess. But one of the most interesting parts of the exhibit started as a blank wall. We invited children to draw what Canada looks like to them on a postcard, before adding it to the wall.
The drawings range from heartwarming (like the drawing of the Canadian flag with a heart instead of a maple leaf) to heartbreaking (like the drawing of a Canadian flag with the words "pls [please] no deport"). Thank you to everyone — child, teen or adult — who added art to the gallery walls. Below are just a few of your drawings on display.
