Spring Blizzard by Diane Brookes, illustrated by Betty Wilcox |
| "Spring Blizzard" is a delightful story from the far, far north of Canada. What is it like to live in such an exotic, cold place where there is the midnight sun in summer, but in winter the sun barely rises above the horizon during the day? We get a good idea from this story about a fun-loving Inuit girl that all children everywhere will be able to identify with. It's refreshing to see such a gem of a book from authors, artists and publishers based in the far north of Canada - about as refreshing as a romp in a spring blizzard! |
