'Howdy, I'm Singh Hari' has been selected for The Globe Kids’ Summer Reading List 2025—the ultimate pick for inspired young readers this season, YAHOO!
This illustrated biography introduces kids (ages 7-11) to Prairie personality Harnam Singh Hari, the first Punjabi immigrant to Alberta. At six-feet tall, with his turban, beard and accent, he certainly stood out when he arrived in Canada in 1910. But with his quiet strength and strong work ethic, he became one of Calgary’s great success stories.

Red Barn Books is a small-but-mighty publisher based in Carstairs, Alberta. We partner with Alberta musicians, artists and experts to put the prairies on the page.
Founded in 2019 by former CBC / BBC news reporter Ayesha Clough, we are fuelled by one desire -- to create beautiful books that leave a lasting imprint on our readers’ hearts.
Our first two books are ‘Rocky Mountain Rangers: Guardians of the Wild’ by The Wardens + Lia Golemba, and ‘Horse Woman: Notes on Living Well & Riding Better’ by Lee McLean.
Three more children’s titles are planned for 2020, as well as a book on management by a veteran people leader I like to call a ‘corporate cowboy’.
So come alongside. We’d love to have you along for the ride.
And please ... keep buying our books so we can make more. Titles can be ordered at redbarnbooks.ca and amazon.ca / com. Thank you for supporting independent Alberta artists and Canadian books.
