Ten Days in Acadia: A Kids' Hiking Guide to Mount Desert Island (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781944762094)

Hope Rowan likes plunging into tide pools, looking under seaweed, mucking around in dirt, and studying maps. She has spent the past fifteen years creating, designing, and teaching children about maps as a certified Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Professional. Her first tent camping in Maine was in a crib and she was introduced to the trails of Acadia from her father's shoulders. She remembers eating M&Ms under the stars on top of Cadillac Mountain, canoeing in coves at dusk, and picking quarts of blueberries on the quiet side of the island. Hope's summer vacation experiences in Acadia led her to attend the College of the Atlantic. Now she lives on Mount Desert Island with Acadia National Park as her backyard.Jada Fitch grew up in a family-built log cabin in Sebago, Maine.

The illustrator of the Wildlife on the Move series of board books, she now resides in Portland, Maine, with her husband, Philip, and dog, Daisy.
