The Lumberjack's Beard

40 pp. | Candlewick | October, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-9649-8 $16.99
(3) K-3 After burly lumberjack Jim Hickory chops down a tree in which a now-irate bird had a nest, he makes amends: "I suppose you could move into my beard." Soon he's hosting a similarly inconvenienced porcupine and beaver--and now it's Jim who's inconvenienced. The story's resolution is sublime, and Beedie's deadpan digital illustrations relay the nonstop silliness that cushions a worthy ecological message.
