This book was so good! I loved having the opportunity to read an advanced copy, and to learn about a woman in wildlife protection. I really enjoyed reading about Hope's life, and what got her into and onto, her eventual career path. I would love to use this book in my classroom for our environmental science unit!
Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read She Is Hope for Wildlife. This children’s picture book is all about animal rescuer Hope Swinimer and her wildlife nonprofit. Through beautiful artwork and illustrations, we learn about Hope’s journey from a young girl to a wildlife rescuer. Hope’s love and compassion to all animals is apparent throughout the story. I highly recommend for children 5+ who are interested in wildlife!
