“The land of our childhood gets under our skin and into our blood. Growing up as a fourth generation Lake George summer person, the Adirondacks are my favorite place in the world. Jacobi’s beautiful (and educational) family Alphabet book brings to life so many wonderful elements of this part of the world and allows others to discover the beauty as well. ”

— Lee Woodruff (best selling author of "Perfectly Imperfect")

“I often reflect on my journey to Lake George. We’d been dating around a year when he invited me to spend a summer at Silver Bay with his family. I thought, “why not?” From the moment I arrived, I felt the magic. I was enchanted not only by the warmth of the Wright family, but by the lake’s wonders and stories, both in and out of the water. A love story unfolded, leading to my now husband and our two “lake babies,” all intertwined with this place that captured my heart forever…”
