Little Loon Finds His Voice

A beautifully illustrated nature board book for babies and toddlers, Little Loon Finds His Voice is a coming-of-age story told through the eyes of a young water bird learning to grow, call out, and find his place in the world.

Papa Loon’s call rings out across the water—Ooo! Aaa! Woo woo! But Little Loon’s voice is much smaller. Peep! Eep! Squeak! As he grows, Little Loon tries again and again to find his own sound.

Adapted for the youngest readers, Little Loon Finds His Voice introduces babies and toddlers to loons, lake habitats, animal sounds, and the natural world through a tender story of growth and discovery. Rhythmic language and expressive calls make it a warm, engaging read-aloud for families, classrooms, and storytime.

This sturdy board book edition brings the award-winning picture book to little hands, with full-color illustrations of misty lakes, northern wildlife, and one small loon learning to call out in his own way.
