When a story captures a child’s heart, it opens their mind—because a powerful tale doesn’t just entertain, it plants the seeds of lifelong passion and purpose. 📚💗🌱

That’s why, as parents and caregivers, we have an incredible opportunity: to spark empathy and inspire action by sharing true stories that show even the tiniest hands can help protect something mighty. 🫶 👐 🫶🏽

Now, one fin-tastic scientist and educator is diving in to help kids see how wonder can lead to action—and how caring for creatures big and small can change the world. 👦🏿👦🏽👦🏻 👩‍🏫🤿 👧🏻👧🏽👧🏿

Marine Biologist & Children’s Author, Whale Research Eco Excursions' Carrie Newell, joins our John Masiulionis and Little Forrest on Episode #247 of PR From The Heart's Children’s Books Spotlight Series to share her inspiring story, the release of her new children's book, Koda and the Whales: A True Story (published by Torchflame Books), the special bond she's shared with her treasured goldendoodle and the majestic creatures they've encountered on their journey together, how educational stories can motivate kids to care for nature, practical tips for parents and educators to encourage stewardship of the seas, and how she’s empowering readers of all ages to become environmental champions at Building A Culture Of Reading In Your Classroom 2025 at Mall of America, plus much more. 🐶📖🐋

We encourage all of you, our fellow neighbors, to subscribe to our official YouTube channel and enjoy John and Carrie's heartfelt conversation—the first trolley stop of PR From The Heart's Back-to-School Season: https://bit.ly/46GhIla. 🚋
