Autor

Born and raised in the Great Lakes State of Michigan, Carol Trembath has made water a lifelong focus and passion. Her other interest is education. Carol has been a teacher, librarian, and media specialist for over 30 years. She earned a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science from Wayne State University and a 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. Ripples and Waves is the third book in the Water Walkers series which presents what Native people are doing to protect the Great Lakes, rivers, and waterways across the United States and Canada. Carol's hope is that readers of her books: Water Walkers (Lake Superior), Stepping Stones (Lake Michigan), and Ripples and Waves (Lake Huron), will become more aware of Native teachings and become involved in recycling and protecting the environment. Carol's books have won the Eric Hoffer "eye of daVinci" award for their art work and a bronze medal in the category of multicultural at the Traverse City Moonbeam Awards. Her books can now be seen in three of Michigan's National Parks: Sleeping Bear Dunes, Keweenaw, and Isle Royale. Carol has plans for more children's books that will continue Mai's journey to all of the Great Lakes. "Water," she said, "is our friend; and if you love something, you take care of it."
