Fearful that her giant Sitka spruce won't be standing in the Walbran Valley when she arrives, Maxine is excited to see her old friend alive and well upon her approach, yet hearing a strange sound coming from the branches above, Maxine gets an extra surprise when she learns from a tree climber that a mamu has made a nest in her special tree! - Orca Book Publishers
A picturebook about a giant Sitka spruce and an endangered seabird protecting each other from extinction in the Walbran Valley. - Orca Book Publishers
Maxine loves her giant tree in the Walbran Valley, but as she gazes at clearcuts from the car window, she worries. What if her tree is gone? Her family and friends trek through the old growth forest, and Maxine runs on ahead to check. Yes, her tree is there. She stands at its foot and listens, but it doesn't make its special sound, "Keer, keer." She will soon learn that "Keer, keer" is the sound a marbled murrelet (a mamu) makes. The mamu is an endangered seabird that flies far from the sea to nest in the high flat branches of the Sitka spruce. When a tree-climber confirms the presence of a mamu nest, Maxine's tree will be safe forever.
