The Missourian: Creekfinding
Many of us recall the allure of a rippling stream and the activities it spawned —from skipping rocks, to nabbing crawdads, and diverting the creek’s flow with a dam that would make a beaver envious.
“Creekfinding: A True Story,” by Jacqueline Briggs Martin, is certain to awaken memories in older folks and have youngsters pining for all the fun a creek provides.
This inspiring tale is revealed in short, accessible passages, questions and answers providing the key to how a creek in Iowa disappeared. It seems a farmer wanted more land to plant in corn, and covered over “a spring that burbled out of the ground and rumbled itself across a prairie valley.”
Allotment Stories: Daniel Heath Justice and Jean M. O'Brien.
Saving Animals: Elan Abrell and Kathryn (Katie) Gillespie on sanctuary, care, ethics.
