The first book in the Stories from Where We Live series tells about life along the shore from Nova Scotia to Delaware using stories, poems, and excerpts from journals and memoirs. For centuries, people have learned about the animals, plants, and places around them from stories passed from generation to generation. This book connects readers with estuaries and cranberry bogs, fishermen and Indians, and stories of adventure. The North Atlantic Coast inspires children to explore, observe, ponder, and protect the place they call home.
