Jo Bannatyne-Cugnet presents a sampler of the Prairies: the patterns of the land and its colors, embroidered with details of life and history, which make up the place she calls home. She describes weather so wild that you can sometimes make a snowman in the summer; the prairie love of the one-ton grain truck; the crafts and games unique to those living on the Prairies. There is even a recipe for Saskatoon pie! Heartland is a bright and bold tribute to the author's "big sky" home, and is filled with artwork as beautiful as the Prairies themselves.

"This stunning picture book looks at various aspects of the prairies that stretch across North America...The vividly detailed paintings...add immediacy and a touch of poetry to the book... This lovely title brings the prairies to life for students across North America."
-School Library Journal
"Each subject is closely observed and painted with great attention to details, often with a hyperrealistic effect, as if each subject were bathed in bright, white light and seen with the clarity of a new pair of glasses...Though the writer and illustrator...hail from Saskatchewan...both the text and the artwork will resonate with American midwesterners as well as Canadians."
-Booklist
