Description
From a harsh rocky shore to a golden prairie field, kids are invited to journey through the breathtaking Canadian landscape. Children's literature expert Dr. David Booth matches more than 25 rugged and beautiful paintings by the Group of Seven and Tom Thomson with the voices of Canada's most talented poets. The result is a memorable treasury of sights and sounds especially for children.
