Description
Now available in multiple formats, this hardcover edition invites young readers ages 4–8 to explore Canada from coast to coast to coast with bestselling children’s book illustrator Jocey Asnong!
Featuring capital cities, provinces, and territories, this lyrical board book is filled with whimsical illustrations that celebrate the diverse landscape, heritage, and outdoor traditions that make Canada unique. Hear the cry of the loon in Ontario, play hockey on Winnipeg’s river ice, toboggan in Quebec City, and hike with moose under summer skies in Newfoundland. From forests to wetlands, and mountains to tundra, and prairies to tide pools, this early concept book showcases native species, iconic landmarks, and wildlife habitats found in different regions across Canada.
Explore Canada is an excellent introduction and wonderful gift for early readers to explore this wild and wonderful country!
About the author
Jocey Asnong was raised by a pack of wild pencil crayons in a house made out of paper and stories. After finishing several years of illustration school at Sheridan College, she left the land of maple trees in Ontario and moved to the mountains of Alberta so she could wear mittens most of the year. When she is not chasing her cats around her art cave in Canmore, she might be caught in a blizzard near Mount Everest, or running away from wolf dogs in Mongolia, or peeking out castle windows in Scotland, or sleeping under the stars in Bolivia. Jocey’s illustrations can be found in all kinds of unusual places, as well as in the picture books Mushkid, The Princess and the Cheese, Nuptse and Lhotse in Nepal (winner of a Purple Dragonfly Award), Nuptse and Lhotse Go To the Rockies (RMB, 2014), Nuptse and Lhotse Go to Iceland (RMB, 2015), Rocky Mountain ABCs (RMB, 2016) and Rocky Mountain 123s (RMB, 2017). She lives in Canmore, Alberta.
