When my son, Louis, was three years old, we received a subscription to My Big Backyard magazine. A couple of years later, he graduated to ranger Rick. He's now 15 and we're receiving National Wildlife Magazine. During those years, he learned a lot about the environment through the engaging articles and by trying many of the projects.

As a young boy I inherited a disease from my father. At a real early age my teeth started to come in and they weren't getting white. So later on the dentist capped my teeth with silver. When I went to school kids called me rude names. I used to go home in tears almost everyday.

We are so fortunate to live in such an ecologically diverse area. The Thorne programs take advantage of this and create incredible learning experiences that are thought-provoking, yet playful. My children have learned a real appreciation for the local flora and fauna.
