That wikipedia page doesn't seem to reference that her book was the basis of a beautiful picture book by National Geographic, From Alice to Ocean, perhaps notable here because the book included a CD-ROM, making it an early attempt at multimedia presentation.

Some reviews of the CD-ROM from a 1994 college class:

I recommend her book, it was quite enjoyable. There is also a movie, though not as good as the book.

The saddest part of the book is when her dog dies, eating poisoned meat.

Quite a story
