There are countless times throughout our lives when we’re presented with a choice to help another soul. Rescuing Ladybugs is a book that highlights the true stories of remarkable people who didn’t look away from seemingly impossible-to-change situations, and describes how their lives AND OURS TOO, have been enriched while they’ve worked to save others. Leaders in what the author calls the Compassion Movement, their stories illustrate how we can break the barriers that have collectively caged and separated us to improve all life on earth. This empowering book inspires us to nurture our love for other animals while igniting our purpose and creating personal happiness.

This extraordinary book takes you on an around-the-world adventure with superstar animal advocate Jennifer Skiff starting with the moment she connected with a tortured bear in Laos and the story of her successful quest to free him by building the first bear sanctuary in that country. The stories in this book are about the people she’s met along the way who are changing the world for the better – one species at a time.
