Second Book in Children's Series Sends Homewood Suites by Hilton Mascot to Canada

Homewood Suites by Hilton(R) is pleased to announce that the second in its series of Lewis the Duck(TM) children's books has hit the shelves at the brand's Suite Shop(R) convenience stores. 'Lewis Goes to Canada' is written by Global Head, Brand Management, Homewood Suites, Bill Duncan and illustrated by Greg Cravens. Lewis is the beloved mascot of the brand who first charmed readers with 'Lewis the Duck and His Long Trip,' reaching out to the children of extended-stay business travelers.

In this book, Lewis introduces his entire family - wife Lois, daughter Lisa, and son Lance to readers. Lewis and the kids accompany Lois on a business trip to Canada and find the work/life balance that is so essential to the business travelers who call Homewood Suites their home away from home. Lewis and his family make the most of the business trip by seeing many of the beautiful sites that Canada has to offer, including a 'ducks eye view' of the Toronto skyline from the CN Tower, Parliament Hill in the capital city of Ottawa, Niagara Falls, and the Laurentian Mountains. The family even takes in a hockey game and learns a little French while dining at a fancy restaurant in Montreal, Quebec. Meeting a real Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman is one of the highlights of Lance's trip and Lisa seems to favor whale watching off the coast of British Columbia.

'We are thrilled to be continuing Lewis's story because he is a very special part of the Homewood Suites team,' said Duncan. 'Family is an integral part of our guests' lives and this book shows how a work/life balance brings everyone together. We're excited to have the opportunity to entertain and educate with a message we're very proud of.'

Accompanying 'Lewis Goes to Canada' as new inventory at Suite Shops is a four-pack of rubber ducks featuring Lewis and his entire family for Homewood guests aged 24 months and older. A fun treat for family staying at Homewood Suites to enjoy in the bath, or a perfect take-away for traveling parents, kids will have a great time creating their own adventures with the family of ducks.

Homewood Suites by Hilton is the first single hotel brand in the Hilton Family of brands to publish its own children's book. An interactive game, activity sheets, quacky card creator, and luggage tag maker are available on www.lewistheduck.com. With frequent updates, content stays fresh and interactive for children and are all based on Lewis's adventures.
