I purchased this on the advice of my daughter-in-law who has an afinity for animals, and whose sister had given her this book as a young child. Then, she ended up working for a short time for Cindy Traisi in San Diego as an adult. It is a very warm, interesting, and certainly educational read regarding the wildlife shelters and rehabilitation available for our planet cohabitants!

Cindy has done a marvelous job of bringing her love of wildlife to all of us who share that love. Told in her own unique, personal and touching style; this is a book to be enjoyed simply "Because They Matter". It's about wildlife rehabilitation at the personal level. Read it!!
