Lake George Journey: An Alphabet Adventure, is, in the author’s words, an “alphabetical exploration” of all the region has to offer. Written by Tamara Jacobi and Walter Wright, the book features stories that entertain and fun facts that educate.
Family and friends contributed memories and observations of life on Lake George.
Illustrators Shaundra Bartlett, Kathy Becker, Shay DeRusso, Ottavia Huang, Wendy Soliday, and Andrew Thompson interpreted the stories from A to Z with illustrations that feature hidden imagery to engage young readers.
