WALKER, Minn. – When selecting a title for her children’s story, Joanne Aamodt couldn’t resist using a play on words with a musical flair.

What better name for a book featuring loons by one well-acquainted with Claude Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” than “Claire, the Loon?”

The picture book, geared toward kids ages 4 to 8, takes readers on an adventure with the main character, Claire, as she makes her annual flight from the warm, southern waters of Louisiana to the now-melting spring lakes up north.
