Illustrated by
Michael Rothman.
A rhyming, celebratory look at the animals and plants prevalent in the Great North Woods. The rich acrylic paintings highlight the vibrant ecosystem's teeming life throughout the day: aspens quiver in the breeze and the bobcat stirs in its lair at dawn; the star-nosed mole breaks ground and a barn owl plummets toward its prey come nightfall. A beautiful pairing of language and visual imagery.
