Description
As one of Canada's Prairie Provinces, Manitoba evokes images of fields of grain as far as the eye can see. But agriculture is not all this province has to offer. There are thousands of lakes perfect for fishing and canoeing, parks of all varieties from desert to tundra, and lively communities. In a addition there is an amazing array of wildlife, everything from pronghorns to polar bears. For those who like seasonal events, there are the winter Festival de Voyageur as well as the summer Brandon Music Festival. With cultural activities and natural beauty, Manitoba is one of Canada's richest provinces “agriculturally and beyond. About the Canada series: As expansive as Canada itself, this outstanding series captures outstanding views of panoramic landscapes, brilliant city skylines, and picturesque communities. Each volume focuses on a city or province and features 96 pages and 70 stunning images by internationally renowned photographers, plus descriptive captions.
About the author
Tanya Lloyd Kyi
grew up in Creston, B.C. She began her writing career as a high school poet, producing pages and pages of work that her mother loved and her best friend religiously archived (possibly for a future blackmailing scheme). The original edition of Canadian Girls Who Rocked the World was Tanya's first book for young readers. She has since published nine other titles, including Canadian Boys Who Rocked The World, which was short-listed for the Silver Birch Award by the Ontario Library Association. Tanya now lives in Vancouver, B.C.
