"Paddle-To-The-Sea" by Holling Clancy Holling


Josh saw this book somewhere and was very excited about it- this was back in our about-to-have-our-first-child excitement, and he really wanted to get it, but at the time we didn't have the money.
Then we saw it in the window of a little shop on Church Street, used, and literally ran in to get it.
It's beautiful...creative... and has Josh's Lake Champlain in it, so how could we not adore it? This book says a lot about what kind of boy we hope Bowden grows up to be.
Bowden likes canoes, and this book has that.
(HoughtonMifflin Company, 1941)
