The Crossing by Jim Madsen, Donna Jo Napoli

3.0

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.
