More More, More!: April Pulley Sayre at ALA Annual


Hanging at ALA and I ran into April Pulley Sayre, 2008 Geisel Honor Winner for:

http://www.ricelakelibrary.org/Portals/11/Book%20Covers%20Children/vulture%20view.jpg

Here's the Amazon blurb:

"Turkey vultures soar on the balmy air, looking for their next stinky feast. These birds don’t hunt—they like their food to be already dead, and their eating habits serve a very important ecological role. Vultures are part of nature’s clean-up crew.

In her signature poetic, energetic style, acclaimed nature writer April Pulley Sayre introduces young readers to the world of the turkey vulture. The gorgeous illustrations by Caldecott Honor–winning artist Steve Jenkins capture these birds in all their surprising majesty."

April has written over 50 natural history books. What an awesome contribution to the field. On behalf of our totz, we thank you, April!
