The Secret Life of Streams

The Secret Life of Streams is an uplifting children's story of life in Small Creek as the daily adventures of stream insects and fish, as told by Loralei the Mayfly. Loralei asks young readers to meet her playmates in the bottom of Small Creek, with all of their strange lifestyles. By sharing her underwater adventures with readers, Loralei hopes to hatch out of the water welcomed by new above-water friends. The story transforms into a pictoral field guide that brings the cartooned characters together with real-life renderings of the insects, to engage and encourage young explorers. This story is the perfect tool for parents, teachers, or anyone interested in fostering connection to our resources, for a lifetime of thinking downstream and stewardship. This book was selected for Nevada's Sesquicentennial, to share Nevada's literature with students. After a critical review, The Secret Life of Streams was chosen to represent Nevada at the National Book Festival in Washington D.C. on August 30 2014!
