Debbie Brainerd - Children's Book

Debbie Brainerd is co-founder of IslandWood, a non-profit environmental learning center on Bainbridge Island.  Brainerd is also author of a children's book with the title The Tree that Came Home (2008).  The book tells the story of a Douglas fir that lived in the Puget Sound for over a century and saw many changes in its lifetime.  The author says that the story was inspired by the 92-foot wooden beam that supports the ceiling of IslandWood's Welcome Center.  If you are interested in purchasing the book go to http://islandwood.org/about/the-tree-that-came-home.  All proceeds from the sale go toward educational programs at IslandWood.
