Ferdinand Fox’s First Summer by Mary Holland is a photographic journal of a red fox as he explores the world around him during the first few months of his life. He’s about a month old when he first comes out of the den. Watch as he learns to hunt through play and by using his senses. See the changes as he grows from a young kit to a young fox. After all, by the next summer, he’ll have kits of his own! Naturalist photographer and environmental educator Mary Holland has captured Ferdinand Fox’s First Summer in a way that is sure to grab children’s hearts.
While the audience of the book is 1st to 2nd grade, the content is great for all ages- even adults!
Be sure to also check out the author’s incredible Naturally Curious blog.

Event Details
The Milne Public Library, the North Adams Public Library, and the Solomon Wright Public Library present the Doodling Workshop Series with cartoonist Cara Bean! This playful five-part workshop invites participants ages 8-12 to draw and sketch in an open and relaxed environment. We begin with a few simple sketching games meant to inspire the imagination and naturally progress into the development of characters and settings. Then we explore basic cartooning and learn how words and pictures can come together to build a narrative. In the final week, participants write and create their own stories inspired by their drawings.
WHEN WILL IT TAKE PLACE?
Our virtual cartooning club will meet Wednesdays on Zoom between 3:30pm and 4:30pm, beginning on October 7th and concluding on November 4th. The link will be emailed after registration.

Additional Info:
Dr. Susan Natali is an Arctic ecologist whose focus on permafrost thaw is motivated by an acute awareness of the risks it poses in the Arctic and to the planet. She leads the Woodwell Climate Research Center’s Arctic Program, which investigates the drivers and consequences of rapid Arctic change. Her research examines the effects of permafrost thaw and northern wildfires on the release of greenhouse gasses, and thus, on global climate. She also works with local communities in the Arctic who are adapting to the impacts of a rapidly warming climate, including the effects of permafrost thaw. Dr. Natali has worked extensively in remote regions of Alaska and Siberia, conducting research and—as the Director of the Polaris Project—training the next generation of Arctic scientists.
