Made in Manitoba Just for You Hop into a world of whimsy, grab your carrot sticks, and join in on the fun! If a jackrabbit were to visit you at bedtime, would you follow it?
Good Night, Good Night, Victoria Beach is inspired by a certain half-white, half-brown jackrabbit seen at dusk in Victoria Beach, Manitoba after a first snowfall. Enjoy an alphabet-amble through Victoria Beach. The ABCs follow adventurous jackrabbits—if you can spot them—along with their woodpecker, frog, toad, vole, geese, fish, bear, dragonfly, robin, mosquito, ant, chipmunk and hummingbird friends, as they cavort through the four seasons. Come romp through more than 100 pages of fanciful illustrations and colourful rhyming couplets. Four-books-in-one—it's a steal! |

"My pen-and-ink and pan pastel illustrations are all about the fantastical, the whimsical, and the what-ifs. You know, what if a jackrabbit visited you at bedtime? Would you follow it? I love that the jackrabbit’s paw prints jump directly into the book on the very first this-book-belongs-to page. Then, all we see on the very last page is the jackrabbit from behind as it hops off the page. Almost as if the jackrabbit scampers through the whole book." - RB
