New trails, new people, new everything. Follow Indi's 500 mile journey along the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington as she learns to overcome her fears.
This is part of a collaboration between Summer Crider of The Giving Cypress and Madison Traviss, both are certified Nature/Forest Therapy guides. This project started off as an idea to make nature-related literature more accessible for the Deaf/signing community. After long hours of editing, illustrating, and going through publication- book is now published and available for purchase. It includes a QR code that will direct readers to see the videos of Summer translating the story in ASL while Madison reads out loud.
This bilingual book is a perfect gift for children and those who appreciate the outdoors, dogs, hiking, and sign language. :)
