The crossing

The story of Lewis and Clark's trip across the country is told by a small baby carried by the team's guide, Sacagawea.

“Wind catches the sail,
swing and woop!
Over we go, Bia' and Ape' and me—
Mother and Father and Babe—
splash, shiver.
Flit, flit,
salmon sparkle in my dreams.”

A story told in bold painted illustrations and poetic text, with lots of onomatopoeia.
