"I was especially intrigued because in 2004 I went with a small group of students from our school to The Global Classroom in Monteverde for a twelve day visit. Since our third and fourth graders were studying endangered animals this fall, we decided to further explore the rain forest animals and to learn more about the Children's Eternal Rain Forest in Costa Rica. In addition to illustrating the book, the students also had a bake sale raising $90 for the BEN. We will display our illustrated copy in our library and look forward to purchasing your published book in the future."

--Teacher Laurie Pike

Thank you, Rowe Elementary students, for the BEAUTIFUL illustrations--and for helping the BEN
stay wild and safe with your very generous donation to the forest.

You are the first participating school in the world to finish the Kids' Book Project--

CONGRATULATIONS!
