Description
Sprawling golf courses, turquoise lakes, lush vineyards, and golden hillsides -- these are the images that symbolize the Okanagan, one of B.C.'S most popular vacation destinations. Here is the stunning scenery of " Canada's California," from the country's only desert to its warmest freshwater lake, remote valleys, while sand beaches, and quiet coves untouched by the area's rapid growth. About the North America series: As expansive as America itself, this outstanding series captures outstanding views of panoramic landscapes, brilliant city skylines, and picturesque communities -- 96 pages and 70 stunning images by internationally renowned photographers, plus descriptive captions.
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.
