Children’s Book Shows How
We are Stronger Together
Rescue at the Zoo demonstrates how zoological facilities safeguard their animals
ZDR3 has co-authored a children's book, Rescue at the Zoo!
A publisher spotted an article about the ZDR3 Network and thought zoological disaster response would be an engaging topic for children, parents, and teachers. We agree! Especially because climate change is making weather-related disasters more common, and more intense.
We were delighted to work with Jennifer Keats Curtis, an award-winning children’s book author who has penned numerous stories about animals.
We hope this book inspires a new generation of young people interested in zoos and aquariums by demonstrating how zoological organizations protect the animals in their care, and how their concern for all animals in human care leads them to assist one another.
Bonus for ZDR3: as the book’s co-author, our nonprofit receives a modest royalty for every book sold.
