Beschreibung:
Sheila Terman Cohen's first book in the Badger Biographies series, Mai Ya's Long Journey, received first place for juvenile nonfiction from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association and Council for Wisconsin Writers, and was selected by former Wisconsin First Lady, Jessica Doyle, for the Read On Wisconsin program.
Earth Day creator Gaylord Nelson comes to vivid life in this addition to the Badger Biographies series for young readers. Born in Clear Lake, Wisconsin, in 1916, Gaylord grew up as immersed in his parents' political work and community service as he was in exploring the natural world surrounding his home town. Along the way he encountered experiences that would shape him in fundamental ways: as a man who stood up for what he believed in the face of opposition and yet who also understood how to treat his opponents with respect. Both traits would serve him well as he rose from law student to state senator to Wisconsin governor and finally to three terms as a United States Senator.
