Illustrated by
William Kurelek.
Kurelek overcame a miserable childhood and subsequent bouts of severe depression to become a successful artist famous for his paintings of prairie life. Beautifully illustrated with Kurelek's paintings and written feelingly by the founder of Tundra Books (publisher of Kurelek's A Prairie Boy's Summer), this handsome picture book is a fitting tribute to an important Canadian artist.
