What's in Your Pocket? : Collecting Nature's Treasures

Heather L. Montgomery is passionate about nature, discovery, and the scientific process. An author and master teacher, she uses curiosity and yuck-appeal to engage young minds. Her many science books include Bugs Don't Hug- Six-Legged Parents and Their Kids and Something Rotten- A Fresh Look at Roadkill . Heather has a BS in biology and an MS in environmental education. When she's not writing, she can be found climbing a tree, wading knee-deep in a creek, or collecting natural treasures with kids in beautiful Alabama. As a child, Maribel Lechuga spent every quiet hour of the day drawing. She studied illustration in art school in Madrid and is now the illustrator of many children's books, including Ten Beautiful Things and Seaside Stroll . Maribel loves the environment and animals and recharges her batteries by hiking through the Spanish hills. www.maribellechuga.com
