The Prairie That Nature Built

The Prairie That Nature Built

Here is a romp through the prairie â€“ above, below, and all around this beautiful and exciting habitat. â€œThe Prairie That Nature Builtâ€ accurately portrays the multitude of species that live here, in tune with the forces of natureâ€”including lightning, fire, and rain. Kirkus Reviews described it as â€œa vivid introduction to a vital habitat.â€ Rhythm, rhyme, and repetition reinforce the richness of dynamic prairie life.

* Forward Reviews says: â€œVibrant and dynamic two-page spreads burst with life, exuberance, and authenticity in this gorgeous overview of a prairie ecosystem. The vivid word choice of the verseâ€”constructed with deft use of repetition and rhymeâ€”is loaded with rich imagery. That this beautiful book manages to be simple and complex simultaneously is extraordinary.â€

*Jim Mason, Naturalist at the Great Plains Nature Center says: â€œI love this book! It combines a childâ€™s sense of wonder with an accurate and beautifully illustrated portrayal of the prairie ecosystem. It will help kids of all ages understand the interconnectedness of the animals and plants found on the Great Plains and make them want to go experience it for themselves!â€

*Buddy Huffaker, President of the Aldo Leopold Foundation says: â€œHereâ€™s a great read with gorgeous illustrations for kids of all ages revealing the beauty and complexity of the prairie. Youâ€™ll learn about the plants and critters that depend upon one of the most endangered ecological systems in the worldâˆ’ all while having fun!â€

Both the author and the illustrator live on the prairie! Author Marybeth Lorbiecki fell in love with it as a child, and now lives in Hudson, Wisconsin. Illustrator Cathy Morrison lives on a shortgrass prairie on the edge of the Great Plains in Hudson, Wisconsin.
