Featherwagons s in f five l languages Halton Region has posted e-book translations on the Region's website of the popular children's picture book for children ages four to eight, A Farewell to Featherwagons. The Region published an English version of the book, and a complementary Storytelling Kit, as part of its Air Quality Education and Awareness Raising program earlier this year. The book introduces children to air quality and climate change themes to inspire earthfriendly living at an early age. "We are pleased to be able to share the messages about the important role we all play in protecting the environment with an even broader audience," said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. "A Farewell to Featherwagons s is now available in French, Spanish, Polish and Cantonese, reflecting the top four languages spoken most often at home in Halton other than English." Since the book was launched in June, more than 2,500 copies have been distributed to libraries, schools and day-care centres across Halton and there have been close to 2,000 visits to the related webpage www.halton.ca/featherwagons. The story is about Biff, Tyto and Alba-Alba, barn owls who enjoy taking a Saturday drive in their "featherwagon" to their favourite place in the world -- the Great Lake. When their efforts to get there are spoiled by traffic, bad air, and bad storms, the owls begin to think about how their vehicle contributes to air pollution and climate change. They quickly discover a better way to get to the Lake -- using their wings to fly. "By making these translations available, we are taking a first step to providing Halton's diverse communities with greater access to important air quality themes in their own languages," said Dr. Bob Nosal, medical officer of health for Halton. A second book is planned for 2012.
