"I've read the Beaver Island and the Sleeping Bear Dunes books. They are terrific. I love all the pictures and the interactive nature of your work!! I like the way you make important environmental issues exciting opportunities for kids to get involved and make a difference. Holly and her friends are wonderful! Adults will be inspired by your books, too! What a great way to learn about these parks we all share!!

Lori Taylor's presentation was riveting for children and adults alike. Her stories about her adventures at Michigan State Parks grabbed the attention of children who have never visited a State Park, and her visuals completely captivated even the most restless children in the room. She will be getting an repeat invitation!

"We're doing a whole nature thing as we read the book. We have a field trip planned to visit a wild-land conservancy in a couple of weeks and the kids are more excited now that they have been going on "adventures" with Holly."
