Ringing in the New Year with a New Book

I end 2011 illustrating my 14th book.

Today something special came in the mail - my early copy of Home in the Cave.  

Written by Janet Halfmann, published by Sylvan Dell Publishing.  Available in February 2012 or by preorder on Amazon now.

"Baby Bat loves his cave home and never wants to leave it. While practicing flapping his wings one night, he falls, and Pluribus Packrat rescues him. They then explore the deepest, darkest corners of the cave where they meet amazing animals—animals that don’t need eyes to see or colors to hide from enemies. Baby Bat learns how important bats are to the cave habitat and how other cave-living critters rely on them for their food. Will Baby Bat finally venture out of the cave to help the other animals?"

Other exciting book news -

The Glaciers are Melting! made the 2012 Green Earth Book Award SHORT LIST.  Winners will be notified the end of January.  

 

 

 

 

 

I'm looking forward to school visits, book signings, and more adventures in 2012.

Happy New Year!

I am so thrilled and can't wait to receive a copy of :"Home in the Cave." You
can't imagine how honored we are at Lincoln Caverns to have been part
of this process. Awesome job...for caves & cave conservation everywhere!

Hi Ann! I am delighted you are thrilled! My Home in the Cave illustrations would not have been as lovely had I not visited your caverns! My family enjoyed our visit very much and we plan on visiting again later this year. I highly recommend Lincoln Caverns and Whispering Rocks to any and all cave and bat enthusiasts! We drove down from Boston and it was well worth the trip. Thank YOU. :-)
