Molly Bang tells Ms. Wilson’s inspiring story with colorful backgrounds done in gouache overlaid with comic-strip-style, India ink illustrations and black-and-white photographs. The background pictures and text tell the natural history and ecological story of the land and the bays, while the ink drawings and photographs tell of Ms. Wilson’s personal transformation from shrimper and mother into an activist who is willing to risk her life to restore her beloved bays and protect her community.
