A
young Indian boy in the Canadian wilderness north of the Great Lakes carves
a 12 inch canoe with a kneeling Indian figure. He frees it to take
a journey to the Atlantic Ocean - a journey he wishes he could take himself.
The little craft sees many things on the journey; a forest fire, a wreck
on icy Lake Superior, busy docks, peaceful farms, a hungry sawmill, and
dizzying Niagara Falls.
You can follow the map along with Paddle as he lives up to his name, to-the-sea. (Paula Gannaway, librarian, paula.gannaway@lcu.edu) |
