A Nature of Writing speaker series event, presented in partnership with Third Place Books
Mary Boone’s School of Fish, Emmy and her classmates have a special hands-on assignment: raising salmon and releasing them into the wild! At school, they learn about the biology, life cycle, and habitat of salmon, and watch them grow from egg stage to fry stage. When Release Day comes, the students wish their fry goodbye and good luck, hoping that one day they'll find their way back to spawn.
And Amanda Abler’s Big Bertha tells the incredible story of Bertha, the massive tunnel boring machine that successfully constructed the longest and widest road tunnel in the contiguous United States, under the city of Seattle, brought to life in vibrant and engaging illustrations, to appeal to budding engineers of all ages.
