Format: Book
Description: 30 unnumbered pages : color illustrations ; 20 x 26 cm
This lyrical picture book tells the story of a child and her father making a night crossing of Lake Superior on their sailboat. As first mate, the child's job is to watch for ships, lights, land, and logs while the autopilot steers the craft. Above, the Big Dipper, North Star, Milky Way, and Northern Lights illuminate the night sky. And as dawn breaks, the horizon begins to glow and land appears, a black line between sky and sea. Jean Pendziwol's sensitive text and Nicolas Debon's striking images capture the mystery and beauty of this adventure on the world's largest freshwater lake.
