The Arctic is more than the barren, frigid landscape that many might imagine. It is a complex ecosystem that contains many thriving habitats, each supported by dozens of ecological relationships between plants and animals.
From the many animals that live and hunt at the floe edge (defined in the book!), to the hundreds of insects that abound on the summer tundra, this book gives a detailed view of the fascinating ways that animals, plants, and insects co-exist in the Arctic ecosystem.
This book is written by Mia Pelletier, a biologist and wilderness field researcher. It is complete with a glossary meant to clearly explain biological terms to young readers. The book is illustrated by Sara Otterstätter, whose beautiful artwork helps bring the world of the Arctic to you.
