• The UK and US have one. Toronto based poet and editor Paul Vermeersch says: “I believe a children’s poet laureate would be an asset for Canada. We could use such an advocate in this country for children’s education and literacy. An ambassador for both the arts and for children, who can address the public, advise the government, and entertain and educate our young people. . . . http://paulvermeersch.blogspot.com/2007/06/childrens-poets-laureate-why-dont-we.
