L'aventure de Stephanie
Story: Matt Maxwell, Illustrations: Jana Tublinshlak, Blackline masters written by AIM teacher/presenter Edite Sammons.
Appropriate for ages: 7-12
Stéphanie is an 11-year-old girl who is a resident of a small town in northern Quebec. The town folk decide to put on a Festival du Voyageur. Stéphanie becomes bored with the cultural activities – the singing and dancing, the costumes, the sugaring off – and wanders down to the riverside, where she gets in one of the voyageurs' canoes. The canoe gets caught in the rapids; only the heroic actions of a young villager save the day. Stéphanie comes away from her adventure infinitely more appreciative of the community of which she is a part. The Blackline Masters have many activities based on the story, and contain a cultural unit on the life of the voyageurs in Quebec, and activities based on a simple description of a North American river eco-system.
