This is a co-developed book between my grandmother and I.

The same sort of improvements have been made to her story as I made to her art. I improved, edited, and put illustrations with her text, and so on.

I hope to release more of her material, as it has a strong Canadian history and culture basis. We'll see how the first one goes, and if it sells.

My grandmother was a Brodie, so she has from her family culture a bit of a science and nature focus in how she sees the world. That's how I think this piece is valuable. She describes a snapshot in time.

The North Hill above Brandon, Manitoba. She was just a teen. She described the story as if she were still a teen. I have fixed it up a bit to carry more like a teen telling the story, instead of wise grandma telling it.

There's just a few spots in there, you slingshot forward, and you go, hey, this is an old lady telling the story. Anyway, there you go.

Target audience: Youth Grade 6 and older.

This book is also useful as Women's Studies, for it describes the life of a homemaker as it was in about 1929. It refers to three generations of women in the one family scene.
