This review is from: Because They Matter... (Paperback)

This book is a heart-warming account of life and times at a wildlife rehabilitation center. Cindi 's stories are touching and bring us closer to the animals she cares for each day. Interlaced with great humor and facts, I reccommend this book for everyone.

This review is from: Because They Matter... (Paperback)

Cindy has done a marvelous job of bringing her
love of wildlife to all of us who share
that love. Told in her own unique, personal
and touching style; this is a book
to be enjoyed simply "Because They
Matter". It's about wildlife rehabilitation at
the personal level. Read it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful read!, March 19, 2009

This review is from: Because They Matter... (Paperback)

I purchased this on the advice of my daughter-in-law who has an afinity for animals, and whose sister had given her this book as a young child. Then, she ended up working for a short time for Cindy Traisi in San Diego as an adult. It is a very warm, interesting, and certainly educational read regarding the wildlife shelters and rehabilitation available for our planet cohabitants!
