Key Selling Points

  • Recent studies have highlighted the ability of beavers to help mitigate the effects of climate change, particularly drought, flooding and wildfires.
  • Beavers are fascinating animals with a high recognition factor (their buckteeth and flat tail are unmistakable) and beaver kits are irresistibly cute.
  • The author wrote an adult nonfiction book in 2015 about beavers called Once They Were Hats: In Search of the Mighty Beaver. She’s also the winner of the City of Victoria Butler Book Prize in 2010 for Children of the Klondike.

Um höfundinn

Frances Backhouse studied biology in university and worked as a park naturalist and as a biologist before becoming an environmental journalist and author. Frances loves exploring the natural world both close to home and far away, especially when those explorations involve tent camping. If there’s a beaver habitat nearby, it’s even better.
