Bookroo's summary

When beavers invade Puget Sound, they topple trees and flood neighborhoods. The Tulalip Tribes step in, relocating these industrious creatures to safer habitats. Discover the delicate balance between nature and community.

From the publisher

When beavers move in, they chew down a tree. They nibble the bark. And they drag the branches into a stream. Beavers topple trees and build dams, which can cause floods and disrupt neighborhoods. So what do we do when beavers move in? In Puget Sound, we call the Tulalip Tribes. They send biologists to help relocate our furry friends to a place far from people, where the beavers can be free. Poetic text and gorgeous art makes this an irresistible read with gentle STEM tie-in.
