The Hike

Description

Snacks, supplies, and a dog. What more do you need for an epic adventure? In this plucky, sweet story, three intrepid young female explorers set out to conquer their local forest. The well-written, empowering narrative takes us on a local quest across a river, through the trees, and up a mountain, spotting birds and eating berries with El, Wren, and Hattie. Lyrical and joyous, magical and triumphant, this adventure captures the highs and lows of a hike with friends - detours, discoveries, beauty and all.

Alison Farrell has a deep and abiding love for wild berries and other foraged foods. Her favourite items to bring on a hike include: a sketchbook, a pencil, a map, and a small natural history book. She lives, bikes, and hikes in Portland, Oregon, and other places in the Pacific Northwest.

"A beautiful and - at times - humorous celebration of spending time in nature with friends." -- The Little Literacy Society
