Description

This powerful nonfiction picture book explores wildlife crossings around the world and how they are helping save thousands of animals every day.

Around the world, bridges, tunnels, and highways are constantly being built to help people get from one place to another. But what happens when construction spreads over, under, across, and through animal habitats? Thankfully, groups of concerned citizens, scientists, engineers, and construction crews have come together to create wildlife crossings to help keep animals safe.

From elk traversing a wildlife bridge across a Canadian interstate to titi monkeys using rope bridges over a Costa Rican road to salamanders creeping through tiny tunnels beneath a Massachusetts street, young readers are certain to be delighted and inspired by these ingenious solutions that are saving the lives of countless wild animals.

Editorial Reviews

Directional concepts get an ecological twist in this book celebrating passages engineered for wildlife in habitats disrupted by human development. "A bull elk picks his way through evergreens OVER a noisy Canadian highway.// A mama elephant thunders UNDER a crowded Kenyan road." Each animal and its human-constructed crossing receives a dedicated spread, calling out how it moves over, under, across, or through, while a small caption offers additional details: "The Trans-Canada Highway is home to more than forty wildlife overpasses and underpasses."...With an appealing softness, Orodán's pencil illustrations, finished in Photoshop, use light and shadow to show the constructed passages' depth. A picture book for the Anthropocene.
--Publishers Weekly "October 26, 2020"
