New this week is the picture book biography, Marjory Saves the Everglades: The Story of Marjory Stoneman Douglas<\/em> by Sandra Neil Wallace and illustrated by Rebecca Gibbon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Marjory Stoneman Douglas grew up in Taunton, Massachusetts with her mother, but she fell in love with Florida. Later when she saw how all the unique plants like ghost orchids and Florida Scrub Ziziphus plus animals like roseate spoonbills, storks and even manatees were disappearing as the Everglades was being destroyed, she knew she had to act. Would she be able to make a difference?<\/p>\n

Sandra Neil Wallace has distilled 108 year’s of Marjory’s life into 56 pages of essential reading. The back matter is so full of more facts, resources and a timeline that it has spilled into the end papers.<\/p>\n

Rebecca Gibbon’s illustrations capture the lush green vegetation of Florida as well as Marjory’s lively disposition. Young readers will delight in finding all the hidden animals and plants in her illustrations of the Everglades.<\/p>\n

Marjory Saves the Everglades<\/em> will delight both young historians and conservationists alike. Wade into a copy today!<\/p>\n
