With only a few days until Christmas, author Maureen Haddock spent a morning with Mr. Baraniuk's grade eight class at Greystone Heights. Maureen was thrilled to see one Get a Bigger Wagon book per student in the classroom. These students made Maureen's day.
Gord and Maureen Haddock launched the Get a Bigger Wagon Young Entrepreneur Awards, for young people ages 7 to 15 years of age, by showing up in a massive wagon at the Edwards Centennial Celebration in September of 2018. The Haddocks thank Gary Grady for making this launch possible. Gary is the creator of this big rig, which is licensed and highway worthy. Launching an entrepreneurship award should be fun.
Maureen Haddock read excerpts from her book With love, From Iraq during a thank-you breakfast held at Smitty's in Market Mall. The restaurant allowed Maureen to interview Wajid and Maysoon, weekly, for two and a half years, while writing the book. After breakfast, Wajid and Maysoon joined Maureen at a book signing at Coles in Market Mall.
With Love, From Iraq: A true story of hope, perseverance, and becoming Canadian tells the story of Wajid and Maysoon's journey from a troubled Iraq toward success as Canadian citizens and business operators. This short video captures some of their pivotal moments.
The boy, from the Get a Bigger Wagon stories, was raised by a woman that allowed him the freedom to make mistakes. Here they are, 65 years after his birth, and she is still a step ahead of him.
This footage was taken at PrintWest's bindery in late August 2013, as the second printing of Get a Bigger Wagon was in its final stages. We thank everyone who bought books for themselves and for gifts.
Get an Even Bigger Wagon, is the second book of short stories about the misadventures of a boy, growing up in the 50s and 60s, in smalltown Saskatchewan. This short video was taken by Lyle Boulton, our print coordinator, during the final stages of binding, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
