From Publisher:

According to Canadian Indian legend, when an old man's sight was restored by Loon he gave the bird his precious shell necklace as a reward. That is why the loon has a white collar and speckles on its back.
Elizabeth Cleaver's rich and beautiful style of picture-making gives new visual excitement to the splendors of the British Columbia landscape, and to the magic of this Indian legend.
"Elizabeth Cleaver brought to her work the sensibility of a fine artist and an inherent understanding of the child's view of the world. The children of Canada are unquestionably the richer for (her) achievements." -- The Children's Book News (Toronto)
