Making a Difference is about a class that participates in the restoration of a local creek. With the help of scientists and their teacher, the students in the book travel to the creek and plant trees. The students learn that making a difference in the world can be hard work, but it is something that anyone can do if they really want to. By reading about this project, students learn about how small changes in one aspect of an ecosystem can affect the entire ecosystem because everything in an ecosystem is connected.
