Acadia

Often called the crown jewel of Maine, Acadia National Park contains more than 47,000 acres of gorgeous coastal landscapes.

A True Book: National Parks series allows readers to experience spectacular vistas and natural landscapes, as well as interact with the rich tapestry of American History. This series includes an age appropriate (grades 3-5) introduction to curriculum-relevant subjects and a robust resource section that encourages independent study. Readers will learn about its plants, wildlife, and geographic features. They will also discover how the landscapes were formed, when people first arrived in the area, why the land was chosen to be a national park, and more.
