Beaver is lost
There’s not much to say about a book with four words. The idea came to me at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. I was with my daughters at the beaver exhibit. The beavers were large and round, moving through the water with great purpose. Grace, even. These were wild creatures in the city: what if one were lost here and had to find its way back home? I went around Chicago and drew watery places a lost beaver would have to navigate: fountains, swimming pools, sewers. I don’t think I’m giving too much away to say that this beaver eventually finds his way home.
