  • Who Needs a Swamp?

    Karen Patkau

    Hardcover (Tundra Books, Feb. 28, 2012)
    Tundra introduces the first three books in its important new ecosystems series. Each title celebrates the worldโ€™s diversity by presenting a different ecosystem: its land and water, its animals and plants. The art is brimming with creatures and ecological features, described in fact-filled notes at the end of each book and in a useful glossary and map. Swamps are often seen as a dangerous and useless. They are often drained to create farmland or to reduce diseases. But such measures can be disastrous. Who Needs a Swamp? explores wetlands and their importance in the food chain and in preserving our soil and clean water. Not only is each book informative and beautiful, but it is a call to action for everybody who cares about the world in which we live.
