I WANT THIS BOOK for family, friends, and libraries! Even though I am not aware of any in Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Newfoundland (for the moose, deer, and caribou), I have been aware of some in Montana, and New Zealand (little blue fairy Penguins) for a number of years, but: 600 wildlife crossings in The Netherlands alone! and 44 in Canada's Banff National Park! and even an underpass in Kenya for ELRPHANTS! In this book we see not just land bridges, but aerial bridges, friendly tunnels, and even a passageway for pollinators (bees) in NORWAY! There's lots more to know, like activism, architects, awareness campaigns, construction, fundraising, and more! And some of this has been going on since the 1950s! I almost forgot the importance and delight in the illustrations by illustrator Bao Luu! They are simple but convey as much as the storyline! I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Lerner Publishing Group/Millbrook Press ™ via NetGalley. Thank you!
