About the Book

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.


About the Author:

Bronwyn Preece grew up taking weekend trips to many of the Gulf Islands with her parents. Later, with friends she established a land cooperative on the off-the-grid island of Lasqueti. "Living her ethics" she pursued her passion for writing, physical theatre, and political engagement. She was elected for two consecutive three-years terms to the Islands Trust local government. Creating meaningful social dialogue through the arts has been fuelled by a life of extensive travel; becoming Canada's first accredited teacher of Action Theater, pursuing a BFA in Applied Theatre, and above all: becoming a mother. The Gulf Islands Alphabet was written while overlooking the Strait of Georgia, in a cabin run on solar and water power, that she and her partner built in anticipation of the birth of their daughter.

Alex Walton was born in Jamaica. He moved with his family to England and later immigrated to Canada before he was five. He gravitated towards art naturally as both of his parents were college art instructors. Alex studied both fine and commercial art at college level as well as graduating with a Bachelor of Natural Resource Sciences. He often brings his appreciation of nature into his paintings. He has illustrated a number of children's books. His website is www.waltonillustrations.com
