Our Story Trail at Middle River Park for the month of July is “The Canoe Maker” by Jean Flahive & Donald Soctomah, sponsored by The Commons Eastport!

Book Description: Young Tobias is on a quest with his father, David Moses Bridges, the tribe’s master canoe maker. Together they go deep into the Maine woods to find the perfect birch and to gather spruce roots, cedar, and spruce gum to build a canoe in the “old ways.” 

We are grateful to the Eastport Commons for thier donation of books for the trail! If your family is interested, you can buy copies of The Canoe Maker in their Eastport store.
