By the Beaver Pool

Beck learns to enjoy living at Grandma's farm with help from a pair of beavers. A moving story of new beginnings with brilliant beaver facts

As Beck settles in at Grandma's farm in Scotland, they watch the beavers busily gathering sticks to build a dam, which creates a pool and wetland habitat where lots of other wildlife can live. As the seasons pass, Beck and the beavers find happiness in their new homes.

By the Beaver Pool is a gentle tale of rewilding, connecting with nature and feeling at home which cleverly weaves in facts about these incredible creatures.
