    Fish and herons, turtles and dragonflies, beaver lodges and lily pads—a multitude of wonders enchant both the child narrator and any other nature lovers along for the ride in this tender, beautifully illustrated picture book. Baby ducklings ride their mama’s back; an osprey rises with a silver fish clutched in her talons; a loon cries in a star-flecked night. Rhythmic, rhyming quatrains carry the story forward in clean paddle strokes of evocative imagery.

    In the Red Canoe celebrates the bond between grandparent and grandchild and invites nature lovers of all ages along for the ride.

    Review

    A young girl and her grandfather canoe together through a peaceful, watery wonderland. Through rhyming quatrains, the girl describes the world around her - the animals that live in the water, the birds in the sky. As the day wanes, the colours turn from bright blues and greens to muted purples, and the last pages show the pair canoeing through deep bluish-purple darkness by the light of the lantern.

    Beautiful images and lyrical text combine to create a restful, sweet book for lovers of nature.
