This is an evocative, gentle bedtime story about a young girl who is fascinated by a solitary loon living on the remote lake where she is spending the summer. As she enjoys canoeing, swimming, and watching the wildlife around the lake, she is always wondering about the lonely loon and what his life is like. As young readers follow her musings, they learn about loon behavior. The story ends on an upbeat note as the girl returns the following spring to find that the loon now has a mate and chicks.
