by Ronna J. May

Each summer, the May family comes together in the town of Meota at Jackfish Lake, where every day holds its own adventure. Whether she’s picking Saskatoon berries in the bushes or singing campfire songs with the whole family, young Ronna spends the summer in her own little paradise. One summer, when the extended family has arrived to celebrate her great grandma's birthday, a challenge is laid down: will a dinghy or a canoe be the faster contestant in a race? On the day of the race the entire family comes together to cheer on their chosen teams. Who will win? And what memories will they make on the lake that year? The Great Annual Canoe Race is a charming storybook memoir about summers at the lake. Full of beautiful, engaging art, it tells a story about family, love, and special connections that build between one young person and the community where she spends her cherished summer months.
