(2) K-3 In 1868, when her father hires John Muir to help at their hotel, tomboy Floy gladly tags along when the naturalist explores Yosemite Valley. McCully deftly weaves Muir's ideas and discoveries into the story, while her watercolors capture the warmth and respect between man and child as well as the beauty of Yosemite. An author's note provides background for the fictionalized text. Bib.
