Selected as an "Our Choice" book by The Canadian Children's Book Centre

Artist Hazel Litgus takes us back to the simpler times in Where the Meadowlark Sang, her beautifully illustrated book about growing up on a prairie farm.

Hazel's delightful paintings and drawings, accompanied by her charming stories of rural life, bring to life the most cherished memories of her childhood. Written simply and from the heart, this is a book for children of all ages.

Where the Meadowlark Sang includes Hazel's accounts of harvest and hard work, of domestic chores and school days. But life on the farm wasn't all work.

Hazel also remembers the wondrous prairie landscape that was her playground, the games and pastimes that the children shared, and the important events that brought the community together in celebration. This book is an affectionate record of a vanishing way of life.
