Our friend and former SPL-er Lindsey Wesson has published a book that is now listed online at all the major booksellers.
There is a little discrepancy between the cover art and the actual title of the book, which is: Green Reads: Best Environmental Resources for Youth, K-12.
The book is available for pre-order now!
Here are the descriptions I've ripped off from Amazon:
"Create earth-conscious programs and units with the carefully selected fiction, nonfiction, and new media materials in this well-researched, accessible guide. Product Description:
Looking for a book on conservation for your storytime read-aloud? A title on recycling projects for your 5th graders? Or information sources on pollution to add to your collection? This guide can help you with challenges like these, and many others. It organizes and describes 400-500 current fiction and nonfiction titles about the environment, with some alternative media included as well. For each title, you'll find complete bibliographic information, as well as an annotation, a list of subjects, and codes that denote whether the book is heart-filled, fun and lively in tone; contains substantive factual information; or features hands-on, what-you-can-do-about-it information. This is a thorough and versatile source-a must purchase for school and public libraries."

That's exciting for her! A soon to be published author was in our midst.
