The Little Read author inspires kids to nurture environment
Lynne Cherry’s passion for the environment started at a young age when she spent hours in a forest near her house, watching possums and raccoons rather than watching TV. Through observing nature, Cherry wrote her first book at age 8, “Archie Follow Me,” which was about her cat and the two observing each other’s habits in nature.
The book was not published until she was an adult, but her love for nature was nurtured throughout childhood, and is shown in the lifestyle she leads and the books and film documentaries she creates.
Cherry was selected as the author for this year’s The Little Read, targeted at second-graders and part of Lenoir-RhyneUniversity’s Visiting Writers Series. The program selects a book each year, and students in one grade level in theHickoryarea receive a copy of the book and hear the author speak. This year’s book was Cherry’s “The Great Kapok Tree,” about a tree in the Amazon Rainforest and what will happen to the animals that depend on it if the tree is cut down.
