Waterdrop Waterdrop (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535110204)

Lori Jo Magana, PT DPT, also known as "The Cookie Lobbyist", was inspired to write her first children's book, Waterdrop Waterdrop, after becoming an accidental activist when the Elk River Chemical Spill occurred in Charleston, West Virginia during January of 2014. She used her special brand of citizen lobbying, baking and distributing a water drop cookie, which she referred to as her "shield", to start a conversation when she would go to the WV Statehouse to speak with legislators about water protection. She started a social media campaign using children's water themed artwork during the 2015 WV Legislative Session. This book is a great way to introduce children to conservation and government, and how they can use creative ideas to bring about change. Lori believes future generations are depending on us, and we all need to use our voices in our communities. Lori lives in Charleston with her dog, a papillon named Isabeau, where she is a physical therapist for children and continues to bake cookies in her spare time.
