8. Rainbees & Honeybows: A Vancouver Island Fairytale

for her origin story. She rhymes and sings and journeys
with friends she meets along the way.

“In the time-honoured tradition of Alice’s Adventures and Peter Pan,
artist Wendy Picken takes us on a flight of fantasy and whimsy
across southern Vancouver Island. She has created an enchanting tale,
and given it wings with her lush and beautiful paintings.
This book is destined to become a treasured classic and much-loved family read-aloud.”
