Told through the eyes of young Sandy, this children's book follows her grandparents as they travel America's legendary Great Loop by boat, teaching lessons about family, curiosity, and the joy of the journey.
Written by two retired teachers with 50 years of classroom experience between them.
Sail along the Great Loop, 6,000 miles of rivers, lakes, and coastal waters.
A loving tribute to the bond between grandparents and grandchildren.
Ages 3 to 103, boaters and dreamers alike will find something to love.
America's Great Loop is a continuous waterway stretching over 6,000 miles, connecting the Atlantic coast, the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Lakes, and the inland rivers. Boaters who complete the entire route earn the title of "Looper."
It's a journey full of sunrises over still water, small towns that feel like family, and wildlife sightings you'll never forget. Mimi and Papa invite you aboard for every mile of it.
Kelly and Jean love sharing the story of the Great Loop with young readers, teachers, boaters, and community groups. From school visits and library readings to boat show talks and community events, they bring Mimi and Papa's journey to life with a full stage set, handmade props, and plenty of interactive fun.
