Someone Walks By

The Wonders of Winter Wildlife

  • 1 Want to read

Someone is walking through the north woods in winter. Readers can see the tracks in each detailed depiction of winter habitat, but they don't discover the mystery animal until the last pages. On the way, they see frozen wood frogs, a bear in her den with her newborn cubs, sleepy chipmunks, fish and otters swimming under the ice, owl hunting and hare hiding, and many other creatures surviving and even thriving in the cold, snowy winter environment.

Work Description

Someone Walks By, the wonders of winter wildlife is a creative nonfiction book that invites young readers to guess at the identity of the creature whose footprints wander through the winter habitats of a host of animals surviving and thriving in the bitterly cold northern boreal forests of Minnesota. The information is packed into a poetic narrative line and the cut paper and watercolor illustration, also by the author, bring the winter world to life while teaching the secrets of winter survival. The book won the Northeastern Minnesota Book Award in 2009, the silver honor award for the Midwest Independent Book Publishers and the bronze honor at the Moonbeam Childrens' Book Awards.
