<p>An original look at a city's development through the eyes and words of real children who have lived there.</p><p><i>Kidmonton: True Stories of River City Kids</i> is a lively illustrated book for young readers that relates the city's history entirely from the point of view of real children over time.</p><p>Using the techniques of fiction to bring true stories to life, the book embraces all of Edmonton's children: aboriginal, immigrant, inner-city and suburban, challenged and privileged, born in Edmonton and recently arrived. A timeline, glossary, and suggestions for more reading and city exploring are also included.</p><p>This chapter book has been written specifically for eight and nine year-olds who often encounter Alberta's history for the first time in Grade Four. Full of fresh, vivid writing—and humour—it will be a pleasure to read in the classroom or at home. Kidmonton tells the city's story to its youngest citizens in a bold, new way.</p><p>Please visit www.courageouskids.ca for more information on the whole Courageous Kids series.</p>
