The red canoe

Fish and herons, turtles and dragonflies, beaver lodges and lily pads... A multitude of wonders enchant the young narrator and all nature lovers who will be captivated by this tender and beautifully illustrated album. Ducklings ride on their mother's back; an osprey soars with a silver fish in its talons; the loon's cry rises into the starry night. These images are evoked in quatrains that match the rhythm of the paddle strokes. The Red Canoe speaks of the bonds that unite grandparents and their grandchildren, and invites nature lovers of all ages.
