And did you know? The only way to save words is to know them. * With its focus on the power of language and social change, The Keeper of Wild Words is ideal for educators and librarians as well as young readers. * For any child who longs to get outside and learn more about nature and the environment * A loving portrait of the special relationship that grandparents have with their grandchildren For children who love such books as Outside Your Window: A First Book of Nature, And Then It's Spring, and Finding Wild.
