I'm sure there is no dishonesty hie
new born baby... that's something it
learns from its adults as it gets older.
And, just recently, I read that by the
time a child is three he is at his
creative peak., When he reaches six,
around 80% of that creativity les
disappeared; and by the time he is in
his teens, nearly all of it has been
squeezed or drained out of him.
It seems to me the reason is that so
many adults learn to view creativity
with suspicion, and will even accuse
a child of dishonesty if he shows too
much creative imagination. Children
have little difficulty in differentiating
between imagination and lying, but
unfortunately, many adults do. It's
also sad that in our western world
especially, we do not honour creativi-
ty or imagination, but keep our
plaudits for the sports -minded, or for
the materially and scholastically
successful.
However, there is hope. More and
more children are being encouraged
to display their creativity. Recently,
I was invited to a Young Author's Day
involving several public schools,
which wasn't so much a time of me
telling the students how to write as it
was an exchange of ideas of how to
make up stories and illustrate them.
Prior to this event, every student,
from primary up, had helped to pro-
duce at least one book. No bounds
were placed on their imaginations as
they put their heads together and
turned out manuscripts on subjects

perhaps one of the most inventive
stories was about President Reagan
receiving a death threat. While he
nonchalantly kept on mowing his
lawn, and Vice President Rush sat on
the verandah calmly sipping a soda,
- the hero, The Great Detective sprang
into action. Overcoming tremendous
obstacles such as being thrown from
a plane, being attacked by crocodiles
and giant bats, and barely escaping
from an avalanche, he finally round-
ed up the bad guy who, surprisingly,
gave up without a murmur or a strug-
gle. At the anti -climatic ending The
GreatDetective fished intoReagan's
pocket for the reward money before
taking off on his next assignment.
Talk about imagination! Obviously,
creativity is still alive and well in the
minds of the two•young authdrs who
collaborated on that story.
Just a few, short years ago there
was a dearth of Canadian literature
for children, but the scene has Chang-

authors of children's books are now

your hads, your mind, your heart"
and on the same theme Margaret
Wilson gave a Bible reading from
Romans 12 verses 1 to 10. Ruth Ross
