“Who lives here under one North Star? Five toads hop, four brook trout swim, three elk graze, two loons call, and one beaver gnaws on a paper birch tree, all under one North Star.” Accompanied by exquisite, colorful images, created in collaboration by Grand Marais resident Betsy Bowen and Ely resident Beckie Prange, children will enjoy learning how to count using creatures of all kinds that live in the North Woods. As the author of more than 40 books, Minneapolis writer Phyllis Root creates a fun, learning experience that can be enjoyed by everyone.—Breana Roy
