Birds build nests. Beavers build lodges. In this sturdy board book, rhyming text highlights animals and the homes they build in nature.
Birds build nests. Beavers build lodges. Animals' homes are all different, but they're all built to protect young. Amber Hendricks's short, expressive text lines with repeated action words, together with Gavin Scott's cozy illustrations, make this poem perfect for sharing with babies and toddlers and encouraging all ages to appreciate nature.
Author Amber Hendricks Amber Hendricks grew up with a passion for reading that melded into writing, and by age 11 she was writing and binding her own "books." Amber has worn many hats in her career, but she has always circled back to her first love of telling stories, including Extraordinary Ordinary Ella for Amicus Ink. Amber currently resides in Missouri with her husband and two children.
Illustrator Gavin Scott Gavin Scott was fascinated by the natural world from an early age and spent much of his childhood drawing and painting animals and birds. He later studied BA Natural History Illustration at Bournemouth Arts University. His style gradually evolved from scientific into children's picture books. He now lives in Somerset, England, with his wife and their growing family.
