Description
Introduce babies and toddlers to the abundance of wild coastal food in this board book featuring vibrant new art by Roy Henry Vickers.
From salmonberries and spruce tips to crabs, mussels and spotted prawns, the West Coast is home to wild delicacies. In this sturdy and tactile board book, Roy Henry Vickers and Lucky Budd use rhyming text and colourful imagery to explore and celebrate traditional foods of the West Coast.
Summer Brings Berries is part of the First West Coast Book Series, which helps babies and toddlers learn foundational knowledge (including their ABCs, colours and numbers), and it will have children building vocabulary around taste, food and the wild world around them.
