Oh No! Hannah's Swamp is Changing
An illustrated children's book for grades K-4 about basic concepts of exotic species impacts. Concepts include a basic understanding of what nonindigenous species are, the effects that they have on our environment, and what can be done to stem the tide. Written by LA Sea Grant's Marilyn Barrett-O'Leary and beautifully illustrated by Catherine Kiffe, a local artist and teacher, the book contains a poster and several activities for young hands to do.
