Join author Heather Shumaker for an evening about the power of stories to inspire people of all ages to love and protect the environment. What touches our hearts? What inspires us to action?

Heather will share stories from “Saving Arcadia,” as well as from her new manuscript “Monarch Mountain” and other books that spark compassion for nature, with a focus on children’s books.
