Description

In this retelling of the Quebecois folktale, Baptiste and the lumberjacks board a magical canoe that lifts them into the air, across villages, and closer to home.

Quick Summary

This retelling of a classic Quebecois folktale features a magical canoe that actually lifts off the water and flies through the night sky, carrying Baptiste and the lumberjacks over rooftops and toward home. Kids will be captivated by the mischievous Baptiste who convinces the lumberjacks to take this impossible journey, and they'll love the playful twist at the end that explains why the canoe can fly. If your kid enjoys "The Paper Bag Princess" by Robert Munsch or other folktales with humor and heart, they'll be enchanted by this airborne adventure. Ideal for children in grades K-3 who like stories about magic, laughter, and a little bit of mischief.
