Brook Thompson presents her new children’s book published by Heyday, I Love Salmon and Lampreys, at Powell’s City of Books in Portland for their Kids Storytime program.
1005 W Burnside St. Portland, OR. Free admission, signed copies are available for pre-order.
Growing up in the Yurok and Karuk Tribes, Brook M. Thompson learned to care for the fish that nurtured her and her family. She knew that along the Klamath River in Northern California, salmon and lampreys are a needed part of life. But she also saw how these fish were in danger. People had built dams along the Klamath River, making it very hard for salmon and lampreys to live. Tribal people and their friends organized to have four of the dams removed, and they won. In I Love Salmon and Lampreys, Thompson tells this inspiring tale, and she shares how it motivated her to become a scientist. Featuring adorable illustrations by Anastasia Khmelevska, as well as fun facts about salmon and lampreys, this is a stirring story about stewarding nature for the generations to come.
