But she soon realized nature was in trouble. Her own community in Florida was struggling. And everyone needed to become resilient. In this lyrical biography, readers will meet environmental scientist and climate activist Nicole Hernández Hammer and hear the message she's spent her career sharing: As we look to the future, we can empower and protect our communities. But that will only be possible if we all work together--including the smallest of us.
