Howdy, I’m Singh Hari is an illustrated children's book about Canada's little-known Punjabi pioneer Harnam Singh Hari (1883-1969). The story, ideal for ages 7-10, brings the real-life legend to a new generation of kids. Back in 1910, when Singh Hari arrived in Canada, the turban, beard and accent were all strange. But his sparkling green eyes and quiet strength drew people to this humble and hardworking six-foot Sikh. From penniless immigrant to one of Calgary’s wealthiest citizens, meet the man with big dreams – and an even bigger heart. Part of the award-winning Howdy Books trilogy, this heartwarming tale of adventure, resilience, and the power of dreams introduces young readers to the spirit of Alberta’s pioneers who shaped Canada’s western heritage.
