About Nadia's Good Deed: A Story About Haiti
Product Description In 2012 Colorado Academy 6th-grader Rachel Harris pursued John Fielder until he would agree to travel with her to Haiti! By email and letter, Harris beseeched Fielder, Colorado's best-known photographer, to help her produce a children's book to be sold to benefit the people of one of the world's poorest countries. Fielder acquiesced and in August, 2013 visited Haiti for a week with Rachel and her father, Denver attorney Richard Harris, and Jean Mensendick, board member of the Harris Road to Hope Foundation. Fielder photographed the people and scenery around the city of Mirebalais and the remote mountain village of Nordette, accessible only on foot by a steep mountain trail. The result of this partnership is the engaging story of Nadia the goat and her journey to the city, with plenty of insight into Haitian culture along the way. With drawings from Haitian children and photography from John Fielder, this lovely picture book will inspire, educate and entertain. About the Author Rachel Harris is a middle-school student in Littleton, Colorado. She has seven siblings, six of whom were adopted. Rachel is passionate about the theater and loves to perform on stage. She has a special interest in musicals and anything related to Shakespeare. Rachel also enjoys skiing, tennis, and volleyball. Her hope is for the kids of Nordette, Haiti, to be able to pursue their dreams as strongly as she is pursuing hers! John Fielder has worked tirelessly to promote the protection of Colorado's ranches, open space, and wildlands during his 33-year career as a nature photographer and publisher. His photography has influenced people and legislation, earning him recognition including the Sierra Club's Ansel Adams Award in 1993 and, in 2011, the Aldo Leopold Foundation's first Achievement Award given to an individual. More than 40 books have been published depicting his Colorado photography. He lives in Summit County, Colorado, and operates a fine art gallery, John Fielder's Colorado, in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe. He teaches photography workshops to adults and children.
