Peaks & Paws — Paperback Edition

Mountains are full of animals, if you know how to look.

Peaks & Paws follows a gentle climb from valley to peak, introducing the wildlife that calls the Canadian Rockies home. Written and illustrated by Mountain River Life co-founder Erik Paul, this edition is designed for slightly older children who are ready to follow along, recognize words, and begin reading independently.

The smooth rhyming structure supports early literacy, helping young readers build rhythm, vocabulary, and confidence. Bright, detailed illustrations reinforce real mountain animals such as moose, grizzly bears, wolves, and bighorn sheep — the same wildlife families may encounter on their own adventures.

It’s a natural progression from the board book, created for curious kids who are ready for the next step.
