Saving Netty: Rescuing an American White Pelican (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781734374124)

Presley noticed one of the pelicans was swimming all by itself. "Pelicans stick together," she thought. "I wonder why that one is swimming all alone?"

"Saving Netty" is a book based upon an actual day in the life of the Thomas family. The book is set in Cedar Creek on Old Hickory Lake outside of Nashville, Tennessee. The lake was created in 1957 by the Tennessee Valley Authority to provide clean hydroelectric power for the region. The lake is inhabited by many different types of birds, fish, and other wildlife. It is also a stop-over point for migrating pelicans, geese, ducks, and other waterfowl. Saving Netty is a book about an American White Pelican and a little girl named Presley. Presley saw the pelican in distress and decided to do something about it. Making the decision to help someone or something in need is what this book is meant to inspire.
