About this title

Synopsis

The running of rivers, the wild geese returning, the bear cubs stepping out, and the peepers singing - this is the arrival of spring in the north country. Join all manner of north country animals as they respond in their own unique ways to the slow vanishing of the cold, dark winter. Reeve Lindbergh's verse captures the empowering voice of spring in language both poetic and precise, while Liz Sivertson's paintings are as spirited and free as the north itself. Together, poet and painter celebrate the wildness and beauty of a season that can never come too soon.

About the Authors

Reeve Lindbergh, a daughter of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, is the author of "The Names of the Mountains" and "The View from the Kingdom". Her books for children include "Johnny Appleseed", "The Day the Goose Got Loose", and "The Midnight Farm". Reviewers have described her writing as "poetic and carefully crafted" with "imagery that is direct and honest". Reeve Lindbergh lives with her husband, their children, and an assortment of animals, wild and otherwise, in northern Vermont.

Liz Sivertson makes her picture book debut with "North Country Spring". Her distinctive acrylic paintings appear regularly in galleries in norther Minnesota. She lives on the north shore of Lake Superior, close to the homes of wolves, moose, otters, and other wild, elusive creatures.
