“This illuminating tale simultaneously serves as a primer on the loon and a satisfying, well-paced chronicle of progress.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
Ooo aaa woo woo! Papa Loon’s voice calls out long and strong across the water. He warns of danger. He defends his family’s home. He even wards off predators. But Peep! Eep! Squeak! Little Loon’s voice is nothing like his Papa’s. When an eagle attacks, will Little Loon find his voice in time?
A water bird found throughout much of North America, loons are famous for their echoing calls. Little Loon Finds His Voice is the endearing, coming-of-age tale of one little loon finding his voice, and with it, his place in the world. Breathtaking illustrations transport readers to misty lakes and towering pines, and informative loon facts at the end detail the life and habits of these enchanting birds.
“Share this with readers who have heard loons’ calls in the wild.” —Kirkus Reviews

"The lovely pastel illustrations endear young readers to Little Loon's story. In hues of light blue and light green, Shklovsky's art perfectly reflects the serenity and natural beauty of the lake setting. ... Excellent backmatter fills in details that tell the more complete story of this lovely bird."
