| Abstract | Two boys travel around Halifax, Nova Scotia, and discover the sounds of the city. This picture book depicts the sights and sounds of urban Halifax and celebrates the city’s musical and multicultural diversity. Shauntay Grant’s text is written in the style of spoken-word poetry as it subverts grammar and highlights rhythmic flow. Susan Tooke’s high-saturation colour images illustrate many of Halifax’s recognizable landmarks. Both Shauntay Grant and Susan Tooke live in Halifax. |
