Early in the year, our North American forests come to life as native wildflowers start to push up through patches of snow. With longer days and sunlight streaming down through bare branches of towering trees, life on the forest floor awakens from its winter sleep. Plants such as green dragon, squirrel corn, and bloodroot interact with their pollinators and seed dispersers and rush to create new life before the trees above leaf out and block the suns rays.Wake Up, Woods showcases the splendor of our warming forests and offers clues to natures annual springtime floral show as we walk in our parks and wilderness areas, or even in shade gardens around our homes.Readers of Wake Up, Woods will see that Gillian Harris, Michael Homoya and Shane Gibson, through illustrations and text, present a captivating look into our forests biodiversity, showing how species depend on plants for food and help assure plant reproduction. This book celebrates some of natures most fascinating moments that happen in forests where we live and play.
