Description

One spring day in Alaska as the snow melted on the alpine tundra, a ground squirrel called Sik-Sik woke up from her long hibernation. After sleeping for nine months, she was ready for summer.

Spring turned to summer, the world turned green, and the mountains bloomed. With only a few months to enjoy before she went back to sleep again, Sik-Sik would be busy.

A perfect addition for home or classroom. Children and adults alike will enjoy the delightful photographs and story of Sik-Sik. Educational facts are woven throughout the story, so children will learn about this small but remarkable species with the longest known hibernation of any animal on earth.

Back pages include even more fun facts.

FREE educational activities and Teacher's Guide available to download.

Fathom Publishing Company

Fathom's goal is to publish quickly while paying careful attention to what is special about each book. We give personal attention to our authors and aim to make them proud to show off their publications. Early Years, Alaskana Connie Taylor formed Fathom Publishing Company in 1981 to publish books about Cordova, Alaska. Our first books were Cordova Fire Chief Dewey Whetsell's And the Fire's Not Green and Rose Arvidson's Cordova The First 75 Years. Next followed a coloring book by Cordova artist Mike Anderson, Coloring Alaska's Cordova. Nancy Ross and Mike Anderson collaborated on Cordova's Historic Buildings which included pen and ink drawings of old Cordova buildings and their history.
