Wild Trails to the Sea
A tender and lyrical story celebrating the natural world and our place within it, Wild Trails to the Sea follows a coastal family as seasons change and children grow. With a hopeful refrain, a parent shares their dreams for their young ones, urging them to pay attention to every bit of magic the world has to offer.
​The debut children's picture book by celebrated Halifax-based editor and author Penelope Jackson, Wild Trails to the Sea is a love letter to the earth, the sky, and the sea -- and to their future stewards.
