America’s vanishing wetlands are an issue at the forefront of the nation’s consciousness.
Children will embrace and respond positively to La Loutre, the grandmotherly otter, as she gently tells of her life in the Louisiana marsh. They will learn about the beauty and charm of the wetland and how its gradual disappearance affects the wildlife and plants. Younger children will especially enjoy the illustrations as LaLoutre grows in her changing environment.
Both children and adults will be challenged at the end of the story, as La Loutre asks, “Now, what will YOU do?"
