Books

In addition to sketching and illustrating, I do a lot of writing--mostly about natural history and science. Here are a few of my publications.

NEW!

 

Mary Willson and I have a new dipper book: American Dippers: Singers in the Mountain Streams. It's a concise natural history of dippers, and includes a chapter on how we conducted our dipper studies. 64 pages, full color. Contact me to order copies or share dipper stories.

 

Since 2003, I've been working with my friend, ecologist Mary Willson, on a study of the habitat and habits of American dippers (Cinclus mexicanus)--marvelous little aquatic songbirds that live along mountain streams. One day while we were watching a pair of dippers feed their chicks, Mary suggested that we write a children's book. So we did, and I illustrated it. The Singer in the Stream is a 32-page, full color picture book, full of dipper lore. Contact me if you're interested in ordering copies.

 

 

I wrote Frozen in Motion for Alaska Natural History Association (now known as Alaska Geographic). It's full of Alaska glacier science, and designed for older children and adults.

 

 

 

Mendenhall Glacier--Flowing Through Time is another book I wrote for Alaska Geographic. I grew up within sight of this glacier, and I used to bicycle to its face with my friends for summer picnics and explorations. The terrific photos in this book are by my friend David Job.
