Wanda and the Wild Hair

Written by Barbara Azore
Illustrated by Georgia Graham

Blue-eyed freckle-faced Wanda has a problem: she loves her wild hair dearly, but it drives all the adults in her life to distraction. she loves the way it feels when she touches it. She loves the way it looks when she pats it in front of the mirror. But her mother always nags her to wash it, her father wants to take her to the poodle parlor for a trim, and her teacher threatens to ask the principle to cut it off. What can poor Wanda do? A series of mishaps convince Wanda that her beautiful hair has to be changed. Kids who love their hair will identify with Wanda's playful solution to make her adults happy.

This first picture book by author Barbara Azore is brought to life by the quirky, mischievous, pastel illustrations of artist Georgia Graham.

A Team Like No Other
Written and Illustrated by
Georgia Graham

The wilderness, adventure and the trill of near disaster -- they're all present in this moving tale of a boy and his dog.

Stephen and his dad enjoy dog sledding in the mountains with their team of eight beautiful huskies. But pleasure almost turns to tragedy when Stephen finds himself alone on the sled as the dogs race towards the cliff's edge. Disaster seems certain.

But Stephen's faith in Skoki, his lead dog, is rewarded when she averts the disaster with moments to spare. Skoki's trust trust in Stephen makes the two of them a team like no other.

A Team Like No Other is a story of love and friendship set in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. The knowledge that Stephen and Skoki can always count on each other brings depth to this simple story of a boy and his dog.

Saturday Appaloosa
Thelma Sharp
Illustrations by Georgia Graham

Crystal visits Grandma every Saturday and every Saturday they go to see the horses. Crystal likes the Appaloosa but they do not know her name. All the horses belong to a woman who lives in a little house across the creek.

"I would like to ride the Appaloosa," says Crystal.
"No," says Grandma, "we do not ride other peoples horses."

Another day they go to see the horses but the Appaloosa is nowhere to be found. Suddenly Crystal shouts, "Grandma, something is on the ground!"

Thanks to Grandma's quick thinking and Crystal's bravery, the Appaloosa is saved. The woman who owns the horse makes the offer Crystal has been longing to hear. "Would you like to ride the Appaloosa?"

"Yes, yes please," says Crystal. And that is what they do every Saturday.

The Strongest Man This Side of Cremona - Written & Illustrated by Georgia Graham The Strongest Man This Side of Cremona
Written & Illustrated by Georgia Graham

Matthews dad is the strongest man this side of Cremona. He can lift Matthew over fences, and when he shouts at the cows, they scatter. But while helping repair a fence on their dairy farm, Matthew encounters something stronger than his dad: a tornado sweeping a path of devastation across the prairie.

Thanks to his dad's quick thinking, they survive the tornado. But it has left Matthew shaken, and their beautiful farm has been damaged almost beyond recognition. While friends gather to help rebuild, Matthew discovers that the love he and his father share must be the strongest thing of all.

"Striking illustrations... Bold colors and textures capture the expansive landscape and the rising intensity of the advancing storm... [A] warm reassuring story." -School Library Journal"

A very satisfying symmetry between strong, vivid paintings of the Alberta landscape... and [the] powerful, forthright story." -Globe and Mail"

Graham's illustrations-clean, yet sprawling luxuriously across the page, the characters dwarfed by the tumultuous sky-are almost enough to tell the tale. But the reader would miss Matthew's perspective and the pleasure of Graham's unaffected story-telling." -Quill & Quire "

Striking depictions... provide an eyeful for the kids aged four-to-eight... But the tale also offers an emotional tug for grownups, who will delight in the heartwarming tale." -Windsor Star"

The illustrations make this book shine. Graham has captured the prairie scenery and the warmth between father and son perfectly... A welcome addition to any school library." -Resource Links"

An unforgettable work." -St. Catherine's Standard "

The powerful illustrations tell the story and evoke the emotions so well that one hardly needs the text to follow the events in this beautiful picture book." -Canadian Content
