By the end, you feel like you really know Marjory Douglas and would like to have been able to sit down to tea with her and just listen. Like any good story, it leaves you asking more questions, and even though it’s a good length, you want to know more about why she picked the Everglades and specific details about what she did to champion the protection of this national treasure.
A Voice for the Everglades is a picture book that is clear enough for little ones to understand but also keeps the interest and captures the hearts of an older audience.
