Not the poster artist[edit]

This Michael Bedard is not the creator of Sitting Ducks.

Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is clear about the distinction, although other national libraries and ref#1 are not.

this guy – born, raised, resides in Toronto, Ontario – LAC data at VIAF ; ref#1 and ref#2 (with images)
that guy – born Windsor, Ontario, resides in Los Angeles – LAC data at VIAF ; homepage and short autobiography (with images)

German Wikipedia conflates the two people de:Michael Bedard; that guy is covered exclusively in section 3 and those references now numbered 4, 5, 6, and 11. Plus bits elsewhere (illustrator; "Bedard ist verheiratet und hat vier Kinder, die Familie lebt in der Nähe von Los Angeles." ?).

I created that guy at Wikidata D:Q20719640. --P64 (talk) 21:42, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Awards[edit]

Bedard has won these annual awards twice each, the latter jointly with his illustrators.

IODE [Canada] Violet Downey Book Award --winners, 2015 to 1985
IODE [Ontario] Jean Throop Book Award (formerly Children's Book Award, infer from German Wikipedia) --winners, 2014 to 1974
