One Spring Up North
by John Owens
As spring stirs the world of the Boundary Waters and wildlife awakens, let’s venture out, too. When warmer days take hold, we paddle a canoe under the bluest skies. Fish surface and jump, turtles sun themselves on a log, and a loon makes her melancholy call. As we pull up to portage across an island and stop to camp on its shore, the majestic pines offer shelter from the sharp, chilly wind while other trees bud with new leaves and wildflowers raise their colorful petals to the soft spring light.
Moving with confident grace, this charming wordless picture book invites you to join this canoeing and camping family on their journey through the natural splendors of the Boundary Waters as they experience the cycle of life in the wild.
