Parkland Reads!

Parkland Libraries took part in the first "Parkland Reads". Participating libraries read the book "The Strongest Man This Side of Cremona" by Georgia Graham.  The Sylvan Lake Library delighted a Cards for Kids tour with this fantastic story.

Summary:  Matthew's dad is the strongest man this side of Cremona. He can lift Matthew over fences, and when he shouts at the cows, they scatter. But while helping repair a fence on their dairy farm, Matthew encounters something stronger than his dad: a tornado sweeping a path of devastation across the prairie. Thanks to his dad's quick thinking, they survive the tornado. But it has left Matthew shaken, and their beautiful farm has been damaged almost beyond recognition. While friends gather to help rebuild, Matthew discovers that the love he and his father share must be the strongest thing of all.
