Rebecca Myers is the author of several award-winning travel and nature stories. She has been an environmental educator, writer, and storyteller.During her childhood, her parents took their family on camping trips and nature hikes in our great national and state parks all over the United States. At an early age, she felt a kinship with trees, birds, and other animals. When she was 3 years old, she met the giant sequoia trees for the first time. She liked them and felt they liked her, too. Now a grandmother, she wants her grandchildren and all children to love, respect, and honor the Earth as a living entity and to give back to the Earth as a legacy for generations to come.
