Voyageur tells the poignant story of Brian, his mother, and sister Jennie, who leave their Manhattan home for a canoe trip in Northern Quebec. Their mission is to scatter the ashes of Brian's father, whose cherished childhood memories were tied to the region. The family, ill-equipped for the wilderness, faces peril when Brian nearly drowns in rapids. An old man, Pierre, rescues Brian and offers to guide them, forming a deep friendship with the boy. This journey becomes a powerful exploration of grief, fear, resilience, and the healing power of nature and connection, suitable for children aged 4-11.
