Carl Hiaasen on Florida

This video demonstrates why I chose to focus on Carl Hiaasen for my author study.  His honesty, passion, and dedication to building awareness of the environmental issues and problems plaguing Florida.  He is not afraid to speak out against corruption, the over development of Florida, amd the destruction of Florida's most precious resource.    Using his books written for children can help them develop an awareness of these issues and understand how important it is to advocate for what you believe in.
