Description
The heights of the Rockies have dazzled visitors since the CPR brought the first passenger train through the range in 1885. Geologist A.P. Coleman, one of the first to visit, wrote "After years of humdrum city life... here was purity and dignity and measureless peace." Whether they come to experience the serenity of the alpine reaches or the adventure of backcountry skiing, the Rockies continue to draw millions of visitors each year.
About the author
Tanya Lloyd Kyi
grew up in Creston, B.C. She began her writing career as a high school poet, producing pages and pages of work that her mother loved and her best friend religiously archived (possibly for a future blackmailing scheme). The original edition of Canadian Girls Who Rocked the World was Tanya's first book for young readers. She has since published nine other titles, including Canadian Boys Who Rocked The World, which was short-listed for the Silver Birch Award by the Ontario Library Association. Tanya now lives in Vancouver, B.C.
