Gulf Islands Alphabet

By Bronwyn Preece

Book Overview

The Gulf Islands Alphabet flows from letter to letter, island to island, blending the charms, natural beauty, character and unique values of this corner of the world. The inviting language and compelling illustrations takes children and adults alike on an island-hopping journey through this south-western corner of British Columbia, Canada. Come delight as day dawns over the islands of DeCourcey, Dicovery, and DArcy, or hike on over towards hide-away havens and heritage homesteads on isolated islets. Discover mountains of mollusks and mussels beside narrows notoriously difficult to nimbly navigate. Scan the ocean for orcas and octopi, oysters and otters while behind you raucous ravens raise a racket. The beautiful islands in the Salish Sea are explored in an enchanting manner and can be enjoyed whether you are in a cabin cradled in a cove, or on a boat that basks in bays, a local or a visitor to this Pacific paradise.
