But how can a kid build something so big? It takes creativity, community, and ambition–and Maya is the right person for the job! Inspired by real-life park ranger Betty Reid Soskin, this latest book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Meena Harris encourages kids to question the status quo, and to embrace their part in writing the next chapter of history.
