Rhonda-Kay Gatlin weaves an inspiring tale of environmental stewardship, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful actions in solving real-world problems. The accompanying illustrations by Sarah Hawklyn are breathtaking, beautifully capturing the unique plants and the special Collared Lizard native to the Nevada desert. This book is sure to entertain and spark meaningful conversations with children about environmental challenges and the impact of their choices on the future. Young readers will connect with Sonora and feel empowered to make a difference in their own communities.
Additional information about the drought in Nevada, the Colorado River, Hoover Dam, the formation of Lake Mead, the Collared Lizard, and the Desert Tortoise adds valuable educational content that is worth exploring.
Jenie-with-a-J is a perfect addition to classrooms, libraries, homes, and Nevada national park bookstores.
I am so proud of Rhonda-Kay Gatlin and Sarah Hawklyn for creating this beautiful picture book that fosters storytelling and environmental awareness. Highly recommended for children ages 4 to 9.
