"A Salmon's Journey: A Tale of Two Adventures"
In 2023, the 55 kids at Fall City Family Co-op illustrated and wrote the story after learning about salmon at their homeschool co-op. They even went to the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and had a personal visit by a salmon biologist who shared his experiences with kids about the salmon in the area.
The book is about a salmon on its journey from Fall City, WA, to the ocean and back. Along the way, the salmon shares its perspective on various predators and environments it encounters. The salmon also meets a new friend who came from a different river and learns some unique parts of its journey. Fun salmon facts are included to provide additional learning opportunities!
100% of the profits go to Fall City Family Co-op to create an awesome environment for kids to learn and make lifelong friendships.
