With careful research and imagination, author Linda Goyette has
created a collection of 25 stories based on the true stories of
named children of the past and present. Too often the youngest
Canadians are erased from our historical memory. "Rocky Mountain
Kids" provides firstperson creative non-fiction narratives from the
region's children, many of whom went on to be influential adults.
In the style of its successful predecessor, "Kidmonton," these are
lively and entertaining stories, but they don't flinch in their
description of hardship and heroism. Balanced and well-researched,
Goyette writes of First Nations, Metis, immigrant and settler
children as well as contemporary kids of the Rockies, with
informative postscript to help readers distinguish between the fact
and the fiction. Against the timeless backdrop of the Rockies, we
can all embrace a sense of childhood wonder. Please visit

Kids series.
