The Land of Curiosities

My sister Paula is a graphic designer in Chicago, andshe has art directed an interesting children's novel called The Land of Curiosities, Adventures in Yellowstone, 1871-1872. It is the first in a series created by The EcoSeekers that teaches awareness andhopes to inspire activism in children about the environment.

Paula forwarded me a message from authors Dave and Dee Neil:

Hello family, friends, colleagues, and other people we like, We are proud to announce the launch of ourcompany’s website, www.theecoseekers.com, and our first book, THE LAND OF CURIOSITIES: Adventures inYellowstone, 1871-1872.

This is the first book in a collection of stories about defining events and themes in the history of the environmental movement as told through the experiences of courageous young fictional characters.

In a good ol' Western adventure, THE LAND OF CURIOSITIES revolves around the creation of Yellowstone as the world's first national park in 1872. Geared towards ages 8 and up (and loved by adults too), the book includes a 16-page real history section for educators and the curious.

We are particularly excited by the very positive responses we have received thus far, from kids and adults. Endorsements include Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, and Nell Newman.

Take a look at our website http://www.theecoseekers.com/ and help spread the word. And, naturally, feel free to buy as many books as you’d like (they make great holiday gifts)!


PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL along to others. We’d greatly appreciate your doing so. We hope to hear from you soon. The brother-sister team of….

P.S. In case we have not spoken in a while… Last year,we created a company called The EcoSeekers™ to educate and engage kids in the environmental movement through our branded entertainment, products and online community. Our goal is to achieve the level of influence and success of American Girl and HarryPotter, but for the environment. We're a publishing company and more!
