When a father wishes to teach his daughter the importance of appreciating and protecting sacred spaces in northern Michigan, he turns to a host of faeries to light their way. Look About You - A Magical Childhood in Michigan’s Wild Places is a mystical exploration based on a girl’s journey into young womanhood as she grows to have a deep and abiding understanding of the land and the preeminent importance of its preservation. Author Erin Anderson and artist Mary Fuscaldo are splitting 15 percent of the proceeds from each direct printer sale to three northwest Michigan conservancies, with 5 percent going directly to Little Traverse Conservancy.

To bring the greatest benefit to our local conservancies, please consider ordering the book directly from the publisher, Rimwalk Press at (231) 256-2237 or email: Rimwalkpress@aol.com. Starting in July, the book will also be available in local bookstores. Bookstore sales will bring a 5 percent benefit split between the three conservancies. Thank you Ms. Anderson and Ms. Fuscaldo for your generous offer!
