Praise
“Children will be captivated when they meet Timothy the tortoise, Octavious the osprey, Grahame the groundhog, and their friends of various species, all dwelling in the woods of Wicomico. Nuala Galbari has written, and Buttons Boggs has illustrated, a narrative that’s up-to-the minute in its environmental message, but timeless in its ability to bring animals to vital life as distinct individuals. Best of all, through its sparkling vocabulary, and original songs and lyrics, this book invites an engaged and creative response on the part of its young readers.” —Barbara J. King, author of Being with Animals
“This timely fable brings enchantment to the reader, with its deft use of music and lyrics to suit the themes, and by the luscious illustrations devised by Buttons Boggs and Nancy Atkins. The Woods of Wicomico is a tale that encourages all of us to consider how we can work together to save our planet and protect the diverse species under our care.” —Sarah Meschutt, PhD, (Oxon.) senior curator, Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, Virginia
“Children will be exposed to a deep appreciation of animals and their habitat, and the indisputable fact that animals enhance the planet for the greater good of all creatures. I heartily and warmly endorse this book for any reader, young or old, who wants to capture the magic of the natural world.” —Walter Seibert, MSW Seibert Associates: Major Philanthropy Consulting
