From Jack, The Story of a Beaver by Shirley Woods, illustrated by me, Celia Godkin; Fitzhenry & Whiteside, 2002. Jack is a chapter book that describes the life of a young beaver from his birth in the beaver lodge, through his adventures while learning to become a working member of the family, to the time when he's ready to strike out on his own. A love of nature shines in this accurate portrayal of life in a beaver family.
