James Wood’s enjoyment and excitement about reading is pretty infections. In tight little chapters, he makes one gratifying point after another. This book is not instructional; it is rather an unabashed celebration of the craft and surprise behind this huge thing called fiction. James Wood pulls this off, I think, because he himself is such a talented writer. It is one thing to learn about why and how something works, and quite another to learn it as though one is treated to a bunch of delicious secrets.

Rope-making was one of the most crucial skills of California's indigenous peoples, including the Tongva who lived in our area. Rope will be made from yucca fibers, and other goods and tools made from natural resources will be shown. Younger children will enjoy leaf activities.
Native plants not only help us use water wisely, but they provide an important connection between butterflies and birds, and allow us to be in harmony with our special but fragile environment.
