An Algonquin Heart Song: Paddle My Own Canoe tells the story of a girl on a solo canoe trip.  In this lyrical book, the reader experiences the thrill and satisfaction of wilderness adventure.  Beautiful illustrations by Dawn Sherman bring the plants and animals of the boreal forest to life. 

The story is based on the life ofAmber's grandmonther, Esther Keyser, who was a canoe guide in Algonquin Provincial Park during the 1930’s and 40’s. She helped to instill a love of nature and an adventurous spirit in her granddaughter.
