It is a priority for CBC to create a website that is accessible to all Canadians including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges.But scattered across it are letters. And maybe to care for it a bit more.Working with this extraordinary artist, Jackie Morris, who worked a lot with gold leaf — a magical substance on the page — we made this book that is as big as some of its readers.To encourage thoughtful and respectful conversations, first and last names will appear with each submission to CBC/Radio-Canada's online communities (except in children and youth-oriented communities).

The perfect answer to the unvoiced question I was asking the ravens. Acorn is gone. The forest is gone. That’s how we came to this final design: ghostly in the windspun seeds of the dandelion head, lush in the charm of goldfinches that flit across it.So, it was Robert’s idea to make this a ‘spell-book’ – to have three spreads per word, the first marking a loss, a slipping away, the second being a summoning spell, and the third being the word spelled back into language, hearts, minds and landscape.After The Lost Words, illustrator Jackie Morris decided to collaborate once again with writer Robert Macfarlane. And I think that the words and images each informed the other.The first draft cover I was shown featured a mountain hare in a field of dandelions. And some of those coloured letters, which get picked out by the children, spell acorn. The oak tree is gone. I wrote out the words, and they flew in my dreams.

And perhaps that's a sort-of answer to your question: that when we say things, that is where literature begins. This was a moment in lexicographic analysis which spoke of a much bigger moment in culture, where childhood is becoming virtualized, interiorized  — and nature is slipping from childhood, as it is slipping from all our lives.If you see only trees as green, if you can't name acorn or otter or kingfisher — some of these most basic of creatures we share our lives with — then I don't think you care for them, really.But they also love naming it. There's just a page of almost absence.Once you've cast your spell, as it were, you turn the page finally, and there's a glorious double page from Jackie of watercolour paintings.So the book was kind of a protest not against the dictionary, but against the loss.That's a great question. If you give them a chance, they're naturals at nature. They run into it, they clamber over it. Lost definition, no longer possessed or retained: lost friends. View the pronunciation for lost.
