Description
From transcontinental highways to a local construction site, the Wheels at Work series provides a close-up look at the world of hardworking trucks and machines. Emergent readers will appreciate the simple narrative sentences and the vibrant, detailed artwork.
About the author
Don Kilby's unique vision of rural life stems partly from the time he spent on the prairie and partly from the myriad jobs he has held including lumberjack, steelworker, paperboy and graphic artist. His paintings capture the detail and shifting moods of the landscape and its inhabitants. Don illustrated Name of the Child and The Prairie Fire, both written by Marilynn Reynolds. The Prairie Fire was nominated for the CLA Book of the Year Award and chosen for the American Bookseller Association's prestigious Pick of the Lists. Don lives in Eden Mills, Ontario.
