Lemon and Cedar

An adventure story, teaching children about
endangered species and conservation.  

Cedar the red wolf has always wondered if there are other red wolves like him in the wild. So when a plucky cottontail rabbit named Lemon stumbles into his clearing and takes him up on his offer for an adventure, an unlikely friendship is formed as the pair embark on a journey, leaving their home at the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge for the first time. Along the way, Lemon and Cedar meet a seabird on the sandy beaches of the Outer Banks, discover large, winged predators while traveling through a swamp, and have a close call with a four-legged foe in a corn field. Despite the obstacles they face, Cedar and Lemon persist on their quest, searching for red wolves and finding friendship along their way to the Great Dismal Swamp.

A portion of the author's proceeds go to the Red Wolf Coalition.

Why a story about a red wolf and a rabbit?

 1. Rabbits are cute.

 2. The red wolf is endangered.

 3. The sooner our children learn  about conservation, the better!

 4. The idea of a wolf befriending a rabbit is preposterous! And I love   preposterous things.
