About the book:
\nI AM NOT A GHOST
\nTHE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY
\nBy David Bouchard with Zhong-Yang Huang
\nIllustrated by Sean Huang
\nForeword by Brandt C. Louie<\/p>\n

Told in the voice of an elderly Chinese grandfather, eager for his and his countrymen\u2019s legacy as builders of the CPR to live on, I Am Not a Ghost: The Canadian Pacific Railway reveals a part of Canadian history that has been overlooked. From the Indigenous people who helped Chinese newcomers survive in their new environment to the dangerous and life-threatening conditions under which these newcomers lived and worked, I Am Not a Ghost is sure to open some eyes on this part of Canada\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\u201c… I Am Not a Ghost provides a very personal story that goes beyond the placement of that last spike and reminds us that achievements are often on the backs of others who should be recognized and their stories told.\u201d \u2014 CanLit for LittleCanadians<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada is still writing its story as a nation, and this book is an important part of that story.\u201d \u2014 Brandt C. Louie<\/p>\n
