The Chicken Cat
The Chicken Cat is a children's book, written by Stephanie Simpson McLellan and illustrated by Bramptonian Sean Cassidy. The book was published in 2001 by Fitzhenry & Whiteside.
The Chicken Cat went on to win the Mr Christie's Book Award, as well as the Ontario Arts Council/Canadian Booksellers Association's Ruth Schwartz Award.
The Quill & Quire raved that "Cassidy's colored-pencil illustrations offer an excellent complement to the text, heightening both its pathos and humor." The National Post commented that "Stephanie Simpson McLellan's imaginative story about Guinevere... soars with Cassidy's illustrations."
The book was later published in Korean by Korean Dewey on April 1 2003, with an initial print run of 3000.
Original illustrations from the book were displayed at the Golden Pheasant Gallery exhibit "Gummytoes: The Art of Sean Cassidy".
