"When Beavers Flew" is an inspiring and unique story of early animal conservation and why it's important to keep conserving animal's habitats. Along with the story, we also learn the importance of keeping animals and their habitats safe and how we can live together peacefully. "When Beavers Flew" is a great pick for any kid who's interested in history, animals, and more.
