BookPage names SAFE CROSSING in Top 10 Books for January

This week, I found out that BookPage named SAFE CROSSING one of the top 10 book releases for January 2025. I am so happy to see this fiction story about volunteers helping with local wildlife conservation making such a splash in the literary world! I hope this means more people of all ages will be inspired to get to know and protect the species who share their neighborhoods, wherever they live.

In the Janaury BookPage starred review, Alice Cary notes,“Percival’s illustrations, bathed in dark purple and brown that contrast with the bright yellow raincoats and safety vests these citizen scientists wear, evoke the excitement of the rainy night. Readers will practically feel the spring rain on their shoulders as the team shines flashlights in search of amphibians that need help.” and concludes “Safe Crossing is an exciting, informative call to action for budding scientists and environmental activists.” Read more here.
