Critically acclaimed for their individual and collaborative creations, cousins Jillian Tamaki (b. 1980 in Ottawa, Ontario) and Mariko Tamaki (b. 1975 in Toronto, Ontario) share a talent for nuance. Jillian’s skillful illustrations have appeared in everything from books and webcomics to animated television, while Mariko’s witty and insightful words have lent themselves to dozens of novels, short essays and comic books. This One Summer (2014) is the second prize-winning graphic novel that they co-created. The poignant tale of cottage friends Rose and Windy stumbling from innocence into adolescence, it was the first graphic novel to receive a Caldecott Honor (U.S.), which is awarded to the most distinguished children’s picture books.
