The Camping Trip That Changed America: Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, and Our National Parks by Barb Rosenstock
4.0
Theodore Roosevelt spent several days camping in Yosemite with wildlife advocate John Muir. Roosevelt's experiences there led to the introduction of many new laws protecting wilderness and doubling the number of National Parks.
Author Barb Rosenstock imagines that the stories John Muir told Teddy Roosevelt helped inspire his love of the wilderness. Her own story of two friends on a camping trip shows that even small events can change the world. Caldecott winner Mordicai Gerstein's illustrations are well paired with the text and are particularly effective in portraying the awesome redwoods and vistas that Muir and Roosevelt saw together.
Add this one to your arsenal for Earth Day and lessons on the environment and saving the Earth.
