The last ship of the season is on its way... and winter is coming.
Far north of the trees, in the Arctic community of Coral Harbour, Nuna and her little brother Siku place one final order before the sea freezes for winter. Their family's new home depends on the last shipment arriving before freeze-up.
Thousands of kilometres to the south, four unforgettable Sea Can friends begin an exciting journey by train and barge across Canada. Kay, Floyd, Vim, and Chase travel the Hudson Bay Railway to the Port of Churchill before sailing across the icy waters of Hudson Bay to one of Canada's remote northern communities.
Along the way, the Sea Cans encounter a stranded moose, a curious polar bear, playful beluga whales, breathtaking northern lights, and the first new sea ice of the season. As the race against winter continues, they discover how teamwork, courage, and careful planning help connect people living in Canada's North.
Blending adventure with real Canadian geography, Shipping to Remote Locations introduces young readers to Arctic transportation, remote communities, wildlife, and the remarkable journey everyday supplies make before reaching their destination. Gentle themes of environmental stewardship, community, resilience, and curiosity encourage children to explore the world around them while learning how transportation connects us all.
Perfect for children ages 4-9, this beautifully illustrated picture book includes educational back matter with fun facts about Arctic shipping, Hudson Bay, wildlife, and life in Canada's North. Ideal for families, classrooms, libraries, homeschool learning, and anyone who loves Canadian geography, transportation, STEM, and unforgettable adventures.
Shipping to Remote Locations is the fourth adventure in The Sea Can Stories, a charming children's series by educator and storyteller J.R. Baron, where every journey opens the door to discovery.
