Sadie, Save the Spoonbill: Critical issues surround the conservation of wetlands in Florida, as illustrated in this book, inspired by a true story. Because mangroves are prime habitat for nesting birds and fish, Sadie and Hayley struggle to preserve them. Will the roseate spoonbill lose its habitat? Can Sadie save the nest?
Spirit of the Swan: Cob's clear Swan call captures Penny's heart. The two swans raise a young swan named Ziggie. As the swans leave their nesting site, Ziggie's father is shot and later captured. Ziggie feels lonely, and rarely bugles. His Mama helps him develop courage. When his father flies to their winter home, Ziggie's voice sings strong. Ziggie becomes an adult, finds a mate and the cycle of life continues as music fills the marsh. Spirit of the Swan is inspired by the true story of a Trumpeter Swan shot illegally, restored to health, released into the wild, and reunited with his mate.
