Sobre este áudio
Animals in the Great Smoky Mountains embark on a dangerous journey of survival in this educational adventure book for ages 7-13 about the places where wildlife must cross roads.
This compelling, accessible narrative is perfect for introducing listeners to the problems and solutions around the global issue of roadway ecology, animal migration, and the ‘barrier effect.’
Best friends Bear and Deer grew up on the North side of a beautiful Appalachian gorge. In the time of their grandparents, animals could travel freely on either side of a fast-flowing river, but now the dangerous Human Highway divides their home range into the North and South sides. On the night of a full moon, two strangers arrive from the South with news that will lead to tough decisions, a life-changing adventure, and new friends joining in a search for safe passage.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
©2021 Frances Figart (P)2021 Smokies LifeResumo da Crítica
“Why did the bear cross the road? Author Frances Figart answers this question for young readers in this story of companionship and adventure. Through the journey of a variety of likeable forest animals, concepts of road ecology and the effect of highways on wildlife movement are introduced in a simple, understandable manner. This book gives young influencers the tools to impact how we as a society address highway wildlife mortality in the future.”~Terry McGuire, retired Highway Engineer, Parks Canada
"A thoughtful introduction to road ecology and biodiversity for young people."— Kirkus Reviews
“In this imaginative and beautifully illustrated book, Frances Figart offers a delightful cast of wild characters—and allows us to see our world through an animal’s eyes. Her story of their journey to find a safe passage over a dangerous highway helps us understand the perilous and often deadly threats our roads pose to animals everywhere, and provides insight into the ways we as humans can solve this problem by building wildlife crossings.”~Beth Pratt, author of When Mountain Lions Are Neighbors and leader of the National Wildlife Federation’s #SaveLACougars campaign
“A Search for Safe Passage is a very accessible introduction to the problems and solutions associated with highways, traffic, and wildlife. Through easily understandable stories of the animal characters, we learn that cars can kill animals, and that a busy highway can also be a barrier to the search for food, water, mates, and new areas to live. The stories of the animals in this book also show that different species have different requirements for safe crossing opportunities. Kids quickly understand the principles... they get it!... and so can adults!” ~Marcel Huijser, PhD, road ecologist, Wildlife Biologist
“Frances Figart pulls back the underbrush and provides a glimpse into the secretive world of wildlife that inhabit the forests near Interstate 40, just outside the boundary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. She brings to light a real-world problem—and potential solutions—from the perspective of the critters. This is a great book whose time has come!”~Jeff Hunter, Senior Program Manager, National Parks Conservation Association
