Annotation: Shortlisted for the CLA Book of the Year for Children, award-winning poet and playwright Barbara Nickel returns to her Prairie roots in a beautiful collection of seasonal poems that chart, with a bird's-eye view of the western landscape, nature's glorious playground. Following the slough cycle and the gradual metamorphosis of the land itself, Nickel animates both nature and the children who love to revel in its altered terrains. Nickel's experimental verses are perfectly complemented by Kathy Thiessen's black-and-white etchings, making this ideal for any young Canadian--Prairie-dweller, would-be poet, or otherwise.
