In this issue we’re all about
personality. We’ll take a
personality quiz, meet
cool Claude the parrot,
and learn what makes
him tick. We’ll also
examine the secret
lives of bugs, hear a
kitten rescue story,
and see how one boy
took his idea for
change all the way to the
Kentucky statehouse!

BOOK NOOK
Our Wild Calling
How Connecting
with Animals Can
Transform Our Lives —
and Save Theirs
By Richard Louv
Recommended for
teachers and parents
This book is a must-read for anyone who
wishes to inspire young people to interact
more with the natural world. Our Wild Calling
explores the powerful and mysterious bonds
we share with all living creatures and how
strengthening them can transform our
mental, physical, and spiritual lives. The
author relays how these bonds also serve
as an antidote to the growing epidemic of
human loneliness — as individuals and as a
species — and help us tap into the empathy
required to preserve life on Earth.
