About this item
Who would like a Christmas tree? The answer may surprise you! From January through December, these trees are food, shelter, nesting grounds, and much more for diverse animals and insects. Readers delight in turning the page to see what purpose the balsam fir has for the white-tailed deer, the monarch butterflies, the fox, or the black-capped chickadees. In the back of the book, the Christmas tree farmer speaks of what she does to take care of her farm around the year. Now for the first time in paperback!
About the Author
Raised on a small farm in Waterville, Maine, Obed early exulted in the out-of-doors. Skating on many kinds of ice in wintertime. Playing in orchard and hedgerows, exploring lakes, streams, and mountains, studying plants and birds in summertime.
The subjects and settings of her work reflect these childhood experiences. The lyrical style of her work reflects her love and study of music.
Her writing became profoundly influenced by the years she lived in Labrador as an adult, studying its flora, teaching, and raising three children. Now northern subjects give her chief enjoyment. Author of eight books, including BORROWED BLACK, A LABRADOR FANTASY and TWELVE KINDS OF ICE.
