Editorials
Children's Literature -
Stanley Park in Vancouver is a fascinating city park. It is almost an island surrounded by the ocean. Aska has produced a multi-lingual (English, French, Chinese and Japanese) book that celebrates the sights and sounds as a group of children visit different parts of the park. Many of the illustration have a surrealistic feel and show both the past and present-creatures and inhabitants who once lived within the park's boundaries.Book Details
