ABOUT THE BOOKS
Do You Speak Tree? by Josh Oaktree is an imaginative and interactive tale for young readers. Little bookworms will get to hop up on stage and make up the story with the author, as they help Oakie the good-natured oak tree on an adventure to save the forest.
Adalgisa and David Nico's book Fish in the Desert highlights the resilience of a 20,000-year-old species of endangered fish. On a family trip to Death Valley, a young girl spots a beautiful blue and purple fish that she never would have guessed lives in the desert. She learns how the pupfish has survived the extreme conditions of Death Valley and now climate change. Fish in the Desert is the first in a forthcoming series (Bringing National Parks to Life), which highlights different endangered species within the U.S. National Park Service and Wildlife Refuge.
Stay tuned! We're looking to add more authors to the reading lineup : )
