David's Trip to Paraguay: The Land of Amazing Colours
David, a farm boy from Southern Manitoba, is excited when his family, in search of a new home, decides to leave wintry and white Canada behind to start a long journey by train, ship, and oxcart to Paraguay. Along the way he takes in colourful impressions of New York’s skyscrapers, the ocean, flying fish, crocodiles, new cities, and many more exciting things that let him know he is going the right way.
This is both a gorgeous children’s book as well as a beautiful art work for all ages. The story is inspired by the journey made by the author's grandfather from Canada to Paraguay in the late 1920s. In addition, the dual-language text (English and German) adds a unique dimension.
