Coming to a bookstore near you March 10!
When beavers move in, they chew down a tree.
They nibble the bark.
And they drag the branches into a stream.
Beavers topple trees and build dams, which can cause floods and disrupt neighborhoods. So what do we do when beavers move in? In Puget Sound, we call the Tulalip Tribes. They send biologists to help relocate our furry friends to a place far from people, where the beavers can be free.
Praise for When Beavers Move In
Simple, lucid, and winning, with illustrations rich in visual appeal.
A great read-aloud to celebrate Earth month, Indigenous innovation, and the resilience of the natural world.
This lively and thoughtful picture book explores the surprising benefits of one of nature’s most industrious animals…. The text is poetic yet accessible, making it a wonderful read-aloud, while the bright comics-style illustrations keep the tone light and engaging. An author’s note about the Tulalip Tribes and their work with beavers and a facts page about beavers provide strong real-world application, effectively blending science and storytelling.
