All of the proceeds for this book are donated to Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots program. Prairie dogs inhabit less than 1% of their former range. What is left is highly fragmented. What's Going Down in Prairie Dog Town teaches that anyone can make a difference – even a young child. The author and Hannah hope you can make a difference today.

"Prairie dog towns are marvelous magnets of life in the Great Plains, but so much of the magic happens out of sight, at night, and underground.
This beautiful little book gives young readers a doorway into a prairie dog's world, a child's heart determined to protect them, and shows why every voice matters in conservation.”
