Highlights presents Animal Rescuers written by Nina Hess. Animal shelters take in all kinds of animals that are lost or don't have homes. The rescuers do everything they can for these pets--try to find their owners, clean them, give them medicine, and give them shelter and water. Animal shelters are very important during disasters as well. There are many ways people can help their local animal shelter.
When Maya Lin was a senior at Yale University, she entered a contest. It was a contest to design what would become a well-known American landmark: the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Lin never dreamed she would win the contest. But she did. Her design received much praise, however, it also set off angry protests. As one of America's greatest living artists, Lin continues to create remarkable pieces of art.
