What a great book, Caldecott prize winner too. I recall it in the same era 
as One Morning in Maine. Paddle really does visually define beausage, eh? 
Craftsmanship, pride in product, wonder of travel beyond your limits, 
whatever they are.

 helpless, ardent adventurer on a noble quest, and selfless love and giving 
 of strangers crossing paths for brief periods, both the better for the 
 encounter.

 In case you know it and it was also lost in the mist, here is a reminder.

Patrick,

What a treasure.  Never had the chance to read it as a child, but I will 
now.

Thank you,

Tom
