Rocky Mountain Kids
by Linda Goyette
With careful research and imagination, author
Linda Goyette has created a collection of 25 stories based on the true
stories of named childrenof
the past and present.
Too often the youngest Canadians are erased from our historical memory. Rocky Mountain Kids provides firstperson creative non-fiction narratives from the region's children, many of whom went on to be influential adults. In the style of its successful predecessor,
Kidmonton, these are lively and entertaining stories, but they don't flinch in their description of hardship and heroism. Balanced and well-researched, Goyette writes of First Nations, Métis, immigrant and settler children as well as contemporary kids of the Rockies, with informative postscript to help readers distinguish between the fact and the fiction. Against the timeless backdrop of the Rockies, we can all embrace a sense of childhood wonder.

In Kidmonton, [a] lively and imaginative book, Goyette brings many
figures from the city's long tale to younger readers. Adults may
find themselves peeking into it, too, for answers to that childlike
query we never outgrow: what is the past?
