Alpine Ani

By: Buckley, Kj

Meet Ani, an adorable ili pika, as she embarks on an adventure to find snow and learn to ski

Alpine Ani is a hand-drawn, heartwarming children's book that follows Ani on a mountain journey, where she's guided by animal friends, who naturally share lessons that apply to both life and navigating the mountains. Along the way, young readers are introduced to the wonders of snowy landscapes, the thrill of discovering a new sport, and a gentle awareness of the changes affecting our winter playgrounds. Perfect for children who love the great outdoors and care about our environment

Author's note:

Ili pikas are real animals but were discovered only recently. They are already considered endangered due to rising temperatures in their mountain home. My hope is that this book helps bring attention to the ili pika and the changes brought on by a warming world. But at the same time, the book highlights the universal joys of being with friends . . . and outside . . . and in the snow . . . and last, but certainly not least, the fun sports of SKIING and SNOWBOARDING.
