The New Land (Orca $16.95)
As she did for Belle's Journey and A Dog For a Friend, Marilynn Reynolds has drawn inspiration from family tales heard on her grandparents' Saskatchewan farm for The New Land (Orca $16.95) which chronicles the first year on the prairies for a pioneer family. Victoria animator Stephen McCallum, illustrator for all three Reynolds' books, evokes the loneliness of the unsettled prairie.
