Let’s Explore: A Family Hike at Wesselman Woods
While working on my Indiana Master Naturalist certification at Wesselman Woods, I was put in contact with Meghan Reffett, another Evansville local. She had this wonderful idea to write a children’s book about her and her family making a trip out to Wesselman Woods, discovering all sorts of fascinating plants and animals along the way. I felt honored to be asked to illustrate her story and over the next six months, we collaborated and created this book together.
