Simons, Marijke The Flying Squirrel Stowaways, illustrated
by Marijke Simons. PICTURE BOOK. Nimbus Publishing, 2017. $23. 9781771085502.
Two squirrels are chased into a large evergreen tree by an
owl. Little do they know that the tree
they are in is set to be cut down as the annual Halifax gift to the city of
Boston for their Christmas tree in Boston Commons. These two squirrels have the
adventure of a lifetime as they travel to their destination.
This is a delightful story commemorating the rescue efforts
the City of Boston made in 1817, when a ship exploded in the Halifax Bay,
killing many citizens and starting a town fire. Simons aptly created a cute
children’s story to describe the love the people of Halifax have for the City
of Boston. Her clear illustrations add to the sweetness of the story.
