Netting crabs on the New Jersey shore, ice-boating in Maine, raking for quahogs at low tide along Cape Cod, playing beneath majestic oak trees in Connecticut - these are among the many colorful encounters with nature captured in Stories from Where We Live. For centuries, people have learned about the animals, plants, and places around them from stories passed from generation to generation. This book, the first in a series that will cover the eco-regions of North America, tells about life along the shore from Nova Scotia to Delaware using stories, poems, and excerpts from journals and memoirs. For many kids, a love of nature begins with stories. This book connects kids with estuaries and cranberry bogs, fishermen and Indians, stories of adventure and great places and wild lives. It inspires them to explore, observe, ponder, and protect the place they call home.
