Water Walkers is the story of an Ojibway girl named Mai. Her family members are walking around Lake Superior to raise awareness about the harm that is being done to the Great Lakes. At first, Mai is told she is too little to go, but her grandmother says, "Even little people can do big things." As Mai walks along the lakeside path, she tries to find ways to help.

Autorenporträt
Born and raised in the state of Michigan, which is surrounded by the Great Lakes, Carol has made water a lifelong focus and passion. Her other interest is teaching. Carol has been an educator, librarian, and media specialist for over 27 years. She earned a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science from Wayne State University and a second Masters in Educational Technology from Michigan State University. However, her initial degree was in English from Western Michigan University and her "first love" is literature. Her hope is that young readers of Water Walkers, will become more aware of the Native wisdom teachings and also become involved with protecting the environment that Native People love so dearly. "Water, she said, "is our friend; and if you love something, you take care of it." Carol has plans for more children's books that will continue Little Mai's journey to all of the Great Lakes. Her next book, titled Stepping Stones, will retrace the steps of the ancient Anishinaabe people as they journeyed westward from the Eastern Woodlands.
