Franklin's Trees
Schenkman's latest book introduces children to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s love of nature, highlighting a lifetime during which he oversaw the planting of over a million trees on his estate. The book describes Roosevelt’s childhood spent hiking trails through his forest and how he later expanded those trails into roads after polio deprived him of the use of his legs, allowing him to get around by car.
Schenkman recently discussed the book with Radio Catskill's Valerie Mansi.
