A beautiful meditation on what makes a home. "Stunning . . . An exceptional exploration," said Booklist, the reviewing journal of the American Library Association. Each creature featured in this beautiful collection shows a unique way that they build their home, and poetic text accompanies each, making this both a narrative, non-fiction treasury and a poetic reflection on what nature can teach us. Discover how a beaver builds a safe dam for it's family and how a tailor bird forages for grasses and animal hairs to use as threads, to sew a truly tailor-made nest. In this book, children and parents alike will discover in vivid colour and poetry, all the wild ways there are to build a home. "Unites STEM learning with literary excellence . . . an essential purchase," said the School Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW)
