When city kids Saanvi and Zarek arrive at their grandmother’s ranch on the Great Plains, they find fragile prairie threatened by wind erosion and choking shrubs. Under the guidance of rangeland ecologist Dr. Liora, they measure grass roots, spy on swift foxes with remote cameras, and follow prairie dog tunnels that breathe life into the soil. After a fierce windstorm exposes bare earth, they plant native cover crops, run water-infiltration tests, and map meadowlark nesting sites. By organizing a “Blowout Prevention Day,” they teach their community to rotate grazing, build windbreaks, and protect one of Earth’s most endangered ecosystems—proving that science and stewardship go hand in hand.

Preface

Description

Step onto the sunlit prairies with us, where waves of golden grasses sway in the breeze and hidden worlds bustle beneath the soil. In Prairie Grass Defenders, you’ll meet Saanvi and Zarek—two city-slick cousins who arrive at Grandma Jo’s ranch expecting simple farm chores but discover a grand adventure in grassland stewardship. Guided by Dr. Liora’s wisdom, they learn that every blade of little bluestem matters, that prairie dog burrows are nature’s air pumps, and that swift foxes and badgers keep the ecosystem in balance. When whip-whirling winds threaten to strip the earth bare, our young heroes spring into action, planting native seeds, testing soil strength, and inviting neighbors to join their mission. This story celebrates the power of curiosity, hands-on science, and community spirit. May it inspire young readers to stand up for their own local landscapes—and prove that caring for the Earth can be thrilling, comical, and deeply rewarding.
