Skating Wild on an Inland Sea
Listen! Lake Superior sings a winter song…
Two children wake up when they hear the lake singing, then the wind wailing… or is it a wolf? They bundle up and venture out into the cold, spotting tracks of fox, deer, hare, mink, otter and the wolf! In the bay, the ice is thick and smooth. They lace up their skates, then step onto the surface of the lake.
In her lyrical style, Jean E. Pendziwol describes the exhilarating experience of skating on the wild ice of Lake Superior, including the haunting singing that occurs as the ice expands and contracts. Accompanied by Todd Stewart’s breathtaking illustrations, incorporating screen-printed elements, this book will make us all long to skate wild!
