Like all books for younger readers that I register, this is done in memory of the daughter of a dear friend and fellow bookcrosser, ResQgeek, who was tragically killed in August 2010.

This book is one of many being passed along to potential readers at the Kensington Day of the Book Festival by members of BookCrossing in Washington DC (BCinDC).

We are excited to be able to share this book with you and hope that you are equally excited by receiving a free book. The book is given freely to you to enjoy as you see fit, although if you choose to someday share it with someone else we encourage you to do so.

Any future reader or recipient of this book is encouraged to leave a journal entry here on the BookCrossing site to let prior readers know the fate of the book. You can make an anonymous entry without joining the BookCrossing movement, but if you are interested in joining, it is a free and spam-free community where your contact information is not shared with others. Best of all, members receive private messages via e-mail from books like this one when those books are journalled, allowing for long-term relationships between books and readers.

This was one of the books leftover at the end of the day in Kensington.

Becky and her sister loved visiting National Parks, and the Grand Canyon was one of her favorites, so I'm setting this aside to release in her memory later.

Becky would be celebrating her 15th birthday this coming weekend, so this book, set in a National Park she visited and loved, is being released as a memorial to her life and love.

DEAR FINDER,
Welcome to BookCrossing.com, where we are trying to making the whole world a library!

If you have not already done so, please make a journal entry so we know this book has found a new home. You don't need to join BookCrossing and you can remain completely anonymous. However, we encourage you to join so that you can follow this book's future travels. It's fun and free, and your personal information will never be shared or sold. If you decide to join, consider listing   ResQgeek (or any of the other journalers) as referring you.

Take your time reading the book, and after you finish, please make another journal entry to record your thoughts about it. This book is now yours, and you can keep it if you choose, though we would love for you to share it. If you pass it along, please make a release note to let others know where you left it.

I hope you enjoy the book!

I took way too long with this book... I apologize! It disappeared in my car for a while. I wanted to move it along from up north a bit, so I've taken it down with me while I visit my mother for her birthday.

I am happy to be able to memorialize such a beautiful little girl. Hugs!
