Illustrated by
Laura Bifano.
Told in gentle rhyming text, this is a loving account of a young girl and her grandfather's serene canoe trip. The deeply saturated gouache paintings in blues, greens, and purples bring nature into close-up focus as the narrative celebrates the beauty of the surroundings and special bond between young and old.
