Description

A delightful rhyming children’s picture book, A Walk in Wascana takes young readers on a walking tour around Regina’s Wascana Lake, stopping at local landmarks like the provincial Legislative Building, the Kwakiutl Nation Totem Pole, the War Memorial, the Wascana Bandstand, the Albert Memorial Bridge, Trafalgar Fountain, the Broad Street Bridge Cascade, and the Queen Elizabeth II Gardens, all while greeting and observing the wildlife the park supports.

Stephanie Vance's profile page

WENDI NORDELL has been drawing for as long as she could hold a pencil. It has always been a favourite pastime and eventually became an occasional job. While her three children were growing up, she painted many murals, including the pediatrics wing in a hospital, a school entrance, and in many homes. She also attended festivals and craft shows, selling hand-drawn gift cards, bookmarks, and illustrations. Now that her children are grown, she has pursued an illustration career, illustrating a dozen books in the last five years, mostly for children, but also including Edward Willett's science-fiction and fantasy poetry collection I Tumble Through the Diamond Dust. Recently, Wendi decided to improve her artistic skills and abilities by returning to the Alberta University of the Arts, pursuing a degree in illustration. Wendi has almost always picked up books based on their cover art, and if there are illustrations inside the book she thinks that’s even better. She truly hopes that her illustrations enhance readers' experience with books--including this one!
