Description

<p><b>A tender story celebrating the natural world and our place within it, featuring lyrical verse and bold, tactile paper-collage illustrations.</b></p>
<p>A tender and lyrical story celebrating the natural world and our place within it, <i>Wild Trails to the Sea</i> follows a coastal family as seasons change and children grow. With a hopeful refrain, a parent shares their dreams for their young ones, urging them to pay attention to every bit of magic the world has to offer, from watching a mayflower bloom to skipping pebbles on an icy pond, encouraging a lifelong love of natural spaces.</p>
<p>Told in gentle free-verse with luminous, tactile illustrations, this nostalgic story celebrates raising children in the great outdoors and will leave them enchanted with the lemon-burst of spruce tips, the steam of saltwater bonfires, and white rocks as vast as the moon.</p>
<p>The debut children’s picture book by celebrated Halifax-based editor and co-author of <i>Amazing Atlantic Canadian Women</i> and York-based, Nova Scotia–born paper-collage artist Elena Skoreyko Wagner, <i>Wild Trails to the Sea</i> is a love letter to the earth, the sky, and the se—and to their future stewards.</p>
