The Great North American Prairie

Stories from Where We Live

by Paul Mirocha (Illustrator), Trudy Nicholson (Illustrator), Sara St. Antoine (Editor)

The North American Prairie stretches from Alberta and Saskatchewan south to Texas, and from the edge of the Rockies east to Illinois. In the same vein as its predecessor about the North Atlantic Coast, this book gathers the literature of the North American Prairie as a way to introduce young readers to the region’s natural heritage. Herein readers will enjoy songs and narratives of Plains Indians, tales of 19th-century settlers, and contemporary essays and poems.
