The North Atlantic Coast: A Literary Field Guide
by Sara St. Antoine

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 Bridgeport, Connecticut: These are among the many encounters with nature and place captured in The North Atlantic Coast.

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 ecoregions of North America, tells about life along the ocean shore from Newfoundland to Delaware through stories, poems, and excerpts from journals and memoirs. With more than pieces both historical and contemporary, the book invites readers to feel the throb and pulse of the surf as Helen Keller felt it, to track an otter through a southern New Hampshire winter, and to join a young boy as he tries to save a lobster from the cooking pot.

For many kids, a love of nature begins with stories. This book connects kids with estuaries and cranberry bogs, fishermen and Native Americans, stories of adventure and great places and wild lives. It inspires them to explore, observe, ponder, and protect the place they call home.
