The Maine Birthday Book


$19.95




If it was your birthday, what would you wish for?

That’s the question a thoughtful chickadee named Dirigo asks his animal friends who have traveled from Maine’s woods, waterways and wilderness to celebrate his birthday.

Gathered around the dandelion birthday candle, each animal friend offers Dirigo an idea for a special wish as they take turns telling stories about their own Maine birthdays.

You’re invited to the party, too!

Explore the wildlife, geography, and magic of Maine through the birthday stories of Socks, a black bear from Penobscot County; Doodles, a puffin from Knox County; Chester, a snowshoe hare from Franklin County; and over a dozen other friends from all over the state!

A 52-page birthday celebration from the imagination of Maine native, Tonya Shevenell, with watercolor illustrations by Laura Winslow, The Maine Birthday Book is a conversation to be enjoyed every day of the year.

Hardcover.
