About the Book

A picture book biography of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the remarkable conservationist and naturalist who worked tirelessly to protect the Florida Everglades. As an environmental journalist and conservationist, Marjory Stoneman Douglas spent her life fighting to preserve the Florida Everglades. Now celebrated as a subtropical paradise with a diverse ecosystem, the Everglades was once considered a worthless swamp. Marjory recognized the wetlands as a treasured river, home to an array of species unlike anywhere else in the world-and she was determined to help protect it. This is the story of how Marjory's incredible vision and unwavering tenacity led to the preservation of one of the most unique regions on Earth. Bonus content includes an author's note, inspiring quotes by Douglas, and information about water: where it comes from, and what we can do to help preserve this precious resource.

Review :
"Through adept biographical storytelling, Douglas's life's work of fighting for the Everglades is brought to the center.... An excellent starting place for educators and young environmentalists alike, this is highly recommended for classrooms and libraries." --School Library Journal ★ "This picture-book biography skillfully traces Douglas' decades-long fight to save the Everglades...An invigorating story that should inspire young readers to enlist in environmental efforts." --Booklist, starred review "James's straightforward storytelling and gentle, chalky artwork capture the abiding appreciation of nature writer Marjory Stoneman Douglas (1890-1998) for the Florida Everglades... Alongside peaceful, airbrush-like vistas of the landscape, bright-eyed text carefully traces Stoneman Douglas's involvement in protection efforts, underscoring water's importance while building toward the idea that "Florida's precious water still flows because new generations continue to protect and defend... the Everglades."--Publisher's Weekly Featured in New and Noteworthy Children's and YA Books: April 2025.--Publishers Weekly
