From the Top of a Grain Elevator

Short-listed for the 1999 CLA Book of the Year for Children Award

Award-winning poet and playwright Barbara Nickel returns to her Prairie roots in a beautiful collection of seasonal poems that chart, with a bird's-eye view of the western landscape, nature's glorious playground. Nickel's experimental verses are perfectly complimented by Kathy Thiessen's black-and-white etchings, making this ideal for any young Canadian -- Prairie-dweller, would-be poet, or otherwise.
