Reading my book aloud for new audiences...

Reading my #book aloud for new audiences is one of the most enjoyable experiences for me, because I get to see it through new eyes. I am in the process of getting my #childrensstory the #bookcoverdesign that would better represent the story inside. Until then, it is available online via #eBook with all the same beautiful #illustrations #children love to see. . . .

How important is literacy to our planet?

Should We Learn To Live With Wildlife In Our Neighborhoods?

I couldn't agree more. When I wrote my children's story about a little #raccoon #family living just on the edge of the human world, I began to become aware of their point of view. After seeing so many deceased #raccoons by the side of our fastest route out of town to the freeway, it made me wonder what was their story? The #story I co-wrote with my daughter and editor (@natashayounge) is light-hearted and fun, but my hope is that it will help the young readers to think about the natural world just on the edge of our neighborhoods and ask more questions about our friends in #nature. Please see my bio for a link to my book summary. The book itself has gorgeous, almost real-to-life #illustrations and is available for purchase at #Amazon as well. #SammyRingtail #environment #childrensbook #conservation #learning #reading #literacy #greenmom #greenmoms #greendad #grandparents #grandma #granddad #gifts #naturelover
