The Abenaki are from the Northeast. Native American languages and Latin are used in this series to identify specimens. There are 18 books in total featuring Kimberly's favourite landscapes, waterscapes, insects, plants, birds and wildlife images.

"The elm trees of the northeast have been devastated by the dutch elm fungus via elm bark beetles, that arrived in the 1930s. 100 million trees across the USA has been lost to the beetle. A new cultivated elm species is being tested for resistance against the fungus in New Hampshire's capital, Concord." -Page 14
