Are We There Yet? A Journey Across Canada
By Alister Mathieson
Illustrations by Christopher Duffy
“Through my travels across Canada, some of my favourite times have been spent in the forests and along the rivers and lakes of this amazing country of ours. Taking us on a family journey, this book explores many wonderful places and captures of discovery across this huge diverse landscape, from coast to coast. This storybook, with its route mapped across the country, brings back memories for me of many places I’ve had the good fortune to travel to, and will hopefully inspire many to get out and explore with their families."

It wasn't easy and a lot of men and women worked very hard to allow the benefits we have today. Who were they, what did they do and why did they do it? These are all important questions answered in these pages. Enjoy and learn..."
