About this title

About the Author:

For Rachel A. Blodgett, writing is one of her many passions. It started with a journal as a way to express herself through her adolescence. Now being an elementary home-school teacher, reading children's books are the core of her curriculum. It was upon her lesson planning that the Galapagos Islands sparked her attention. After all, Rachel has a deep love for nature, for gardening, and for traveling. She shares all these interests with her husband and three children. Together they live in Kalamazoo, Michigan with their pet turtle, a parrot, three fish, and a dog. Rachel's main focus is to bring awareness to the youth of the world. Places like the Galapagos Islands are precious gems. Like all gems that sparkle, Rachel hopes to capture people's attention and convey a strong message of gratitude and conservation.
