The Buffalo Are Back

Jean Craighead George, a renowned nature writer, presents a compelling nonfiction picture book detailing the remarkable comeback of the American bison. This book traces the buffalo's history from their abundance on the Great Plains, their critical role for Native Americans, their near eradication by settlers and hunters, and the dedicated efforts of conservationists, including Teddy Roosevelt, that led to their resurgence. Paired with Wendell Minor's stunning landscape paintings, the engaging text educates young readers about ecological balance, historical impact, and the power of conservation. It's a powerful story of resilience and hope for ages 4-11.
