A Review By Dave Gerry, Broadcaster, Global TV, Toronto (January, 2014) “It’s called the ‘dead of winter‘, but there is so much reverberating life amid the snow and the cold in this third book of Canadian author Ken Budd’s childhood recollections.

A Must-Read for Canadians Young and Older

By L. Lockeridge (from Chapters online) “Although I first judged it to be a boy’s book, I found that I could relate to so much of it as, on my own, I had many similar experiences. Wading around in a slough near our house in Manitoba. Catching and playing with frogs. Making a teepee with […]
