Abstract

Plenty of children’s book authors write about wild things. This past fall, a group of children’s book authors and illustrators put their words into work—taking a collective trek to South Africa, with a purpose.

The newly formed Children’s Book Creators for Conservation (CBCC) spent two weeks on a volunteer trip in South Africa with Wild Tomorrow, a nonprofit focused on reconnecting and restoring habitat for threatened wildlife in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
