Items related to The West Is Calling: Imagining British Columbia
Combining evocative haiku, informative text and luminous illustrations, The West Is Calling is a celebration, for our youngest readers, of one hundred and fifty years of British Columbia's history. Each detail-rich illustration depicts a particular moment in the province's dynamic saga, from pre-contact Haida culture, to the natural resources-fueled economic boom in the 1960s and beyond, to Expo 86, to the opening up of the North and the growing appreciation of First Nations' traditions.

Review:
"B.C. children should know something about this place's history... The West is Calling is a lovely introduction, and it has a nifty little game of seek and find at the end."
