Hello Canada, Hello Prairies
About this book
Meet a young boy as he shares his love and snags of prairie life in the mid-twentieth century. In Hello Canada, Hello Prairies, David meets: his endearing, paralyzed, gum-gifting uncle, feisty Aunt Julia, and an uncompromising gun-toter. Tractors dominate over horses, picking succulent june berries is a delight, rationing for the War is a hardship, fascinating is listening to stories of clandestinely making homebrew. He delights in reading, in playing Halloween pranks, and salivating over chocolate bar maps. David presses to hear horrifying details of his uncle's service abroad in the Canadian military, but he lives a sheltered and simple life in tough times: shopping from the Eaton's catalogue, helping his mother card and spin wool, and watching a Hitler-like movie.
