Excerpts from:
“Ties to Maine Anchor First-Time Author”

By Marylou Morano

His summer home in Maine has inspired a former Westfield resident to write a children’s book as a gift to his granddaughter.

“The Journey of the Little Red Boat” highlights the activities of Smith’s granddaughter, Grace, when she visits the family home on the Medomak River in central Maine, near the coast. Grace is a prominent character in the book.

The things depicted in the book-playing games at the kitchen table, walking among the rocks looking for minnows and baby crabs trapped in pools of water- are the things I did as teenager. They are what my children did when they were growing up.

“I had just retired and was mulling what I would really like to do with my newly found free time. The book was also a way to write about an area of Maine that I love…”

“I enjoy visiting schools and discussing the book and the topic of creative writing with elementary school children. Helping children improve their writing skills and engage their imaginations is very satisfying.”
