Join us for the family-centric event! Eco-Ambassador*, Jaxson Bailey, will be reading his original work, “From Marsh to Shore, Let Nature Roar” with illustrations by local artist Lyndsay Murphree. After his reading, we will have two pages from the text for children to color.
Jaxson Bailey is a Waukegan resident and senior at Waukegan High School. Over the summer, he participated in The Center for Conservation Leadership's Eco-Ambassador Internship. Through this process, he completed a capstone project - a children's book about the wildlife and habitats present at Illinois Beach State Park. Through a collaboration with CCL partner, Lyndsey Murphree, his words have come to life in the style of a coloring book. Jaxson plans to become EMT certified and join a fire crew once he graduates high school.
Jaxson will lead a book reading and then we invite our guests to tour the exhibit “Through the Eyes of the Piping Plover: the Flora, Fauna and People of the Waukegan Shores.”
