A young Indigenous boy carves a little canoe with a figure inside, and names him Paddle-to-the-Sea. Paddle begins its journey along the banks of Lake Superior, following through the Great lakes, and finally reaches all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
First published in 1941, the journey within Paddle-to-the-Sea, in both text and vividly remarkable pictures, provides an excellent geographic and historical picture of the region.
"[Paddle-to-the-Sea is] Geography of the best kind made vivid by the power of imagination." -- Horn Book Guide
