The Tale of Jacob Swift - A Blackfish Children's Book

-- A beautiful blend of a wonderful and endearing story combined with absolutely amazing photography! --

"Some nature books for children are so good for you theyre no fun to read. Others are fun, but dont teach anything. Jacob Swift is one of those rare books that manages to tell a compelling story while simultaneously infusing its young reader with a wealth of information about the natural world. Illustrated with Rob Palmers phenomenal photographs of swift foxes and their Great Plains landscape, this is a book both kids and adults will be happy to read over and over. Because of that, Jacob Swift will both entertain and educate many people about an important place very few are aware of: The Great Plains of North America." -- Chris Helzer, ecologist and author of The Ecology and Management of Prairies in the Central United States

When Jacob and his big brother Ethan emerged from their den for the first time, the swift fox pups were greeted by shortgrass prairie in all directions.
“So why do we live here?” Jacob asked. “There’s nothing here.”
“If you think that, you have not been listening very well during the last month,” said Mom.

The Tale of Jacob Swift is an endearing story about the struggles and triumphs one family goes through to raise their sons in the harsh, but beautiful, grasslands of North America.
