Gabe And The Lake

Gabe and the Lake is a true story about the heritage that can develop between nature and family. The book sparkles with imagination as the reader follows the story through the eyes of a little boy. Gabe is a toddler. His parents introduce him to a beautiful lake in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania--a lake that has nurtured wildlife and has attracted visitors for generations. Gabe is the fourth generation in his family who has thrown stones into the lake, floated sticks, and watched fish, insects, frogs, and newts living through their life cycles. Imagine how many happily tossed stones are stored within the lake's cool depths from past visitors. Imagine how many more stones are yet to drop down into those depths as representations of a family's day spent in the woods. A day when parents or grandparents shared their knowledge of the forest and its wildlife. A day when each made their own discoveries and laughed at surprises. This cross-generational story helps reflect on the bonds often created through family-shared experiences with nature--creating memories that can last a lifetime.
