A picture book biography of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the remarkable conservationist and naturalist who worked tirelessly to protect the Florida Everglades.

As an environmental journalist and conservationist, Marjory Stoneman Douglas spent her life fighting to preserve the Florida Everglades. Now celebrated as a subtropical paradise with a diverse ecosystem, the Everglades was once considered a worthless swamp. Marjory recognized the wetlands as a treasured river, home to an array of species unlike anywhere else in the world--and she was determined to help protect it.

This is the story of how Marjory's incredible vision and unwavering tenacity led to the preservation of one of the most unique regions on Earth.

Bonus content includes an author's note, inspiring quotes by Douglas, and information about water: where it comes from, and what we can do to help preserve this precious resource.
