Rocky Mountain ABCs

All aboard and come join children’s illustrator Jocey Asnong on a colorful adventure through the magical landscape of the Canadian Rockies!

Featuring a fun selection of favorite mountain animals from Western North America, this lyrical alphabet board book teaches letter recognition to early readers and also showcases numerous internationally renowned landmarks throughout the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Go for a canoe ride at sunset on Lake Louise, climb high, snow-capped peaks with a mountain goat and learn to ski with an adventurous grizzly bear.

Jocey’s vibrant illustrations and playful imagination bring the alphabet to life for young children in a little book that shares with everyone the love of being outdoors.

Jocey Asnong was raised by a pack of wild pencil crayons in a house made out of paper and stories. After finishing several years of illustration school at Sheridan College, she left the land of maple trees in Ontario and moved to the mountains of Alberta so she could wear mittens most of the year. When she is not chasing her cats around her art cave in Canmore, she might be caught in a blizzard near Mount Everest, or running away from wolf dogs in Mongolia, or peeking out castle windows in Scotland, or sleeping under the stars in Bolivia. Jocey’s illustrations can be found in all kinds of unusual places, as well as in the picture books Mushkid, The Princess and the Cheese, Nuptse and Lhotse in Nepal (winner of a Purple Dragonfly Award), Nuptse and Lhotse Go to the Rockies (RMB, 2014), Nuptse and Lhotse Go to Iceland (RMB, 2015), Rocky Mountain ABCs (RMB, 2016) and Rocky Mountain 123s (RMB, 2017). She lives in Canmore, Alberta.
