What People Are Saying

Alicia B. Marin
"Jane Wood's book is an inspiration to the field of environmental education. Her book provides scientifically accurate information that is presented in a child-friendly manner. Since conservation is a long-term challenge, it is important to educate those who will be accountable for the resolution of these problems in their future -- our youth. I truly believe that her story will inspire children to become active in local conservation issues."--(Alicia B. Marin, Senior Educator, Georgia Sea Turtle Center)

Kids really can make a difference."--(Danielle Dolan, Education & Outreach Coordinator, St Johns Riverkeeper, Inc)
