Befriending the Banana Slug: My Adventures and Lessons in National Parks

A young woman takes a journey through national parks to remember why she loved them as a kid. The lessons she learns along the way connect her to herself and public lands in the United States. As she travels through each park she gives rich descriptions of the places and people she meets, and she collects some of the stories that make each park unique. Each chapter is a lesson in love from public lands that resonates through our present and future.
