SARA MARTEL endured innumerable close encounters with poop during her eleven years as a zoo-keeper at the St. Louis Zoo. Mostly these were from species dear to her, including the multiple fly-by poopings she received from rainbow lorikeets. She served, too, as an assistant field biologist helping with seabird research for organizations including the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Sara has since written about wildlife conservation efforts for regional and national publications including Sierra, National Wildlife, Birder’s World, Birding, and the Boston Globe Magazine. Her husband Rick, along with Scout the dog and Maverick the cat, heard countless dinner-time poop tales during this book’s writing.SARA LYNN CRAMB grew up in the Great Lakes region where she spent much of her time adventuring in the woods, drawing, playing with four-legged friends, and reading picture books. She has created illustrations and designs for numerous educational books, interactive signage, posters, and children’s books. Sara shares her home with her husband, two grumpy turtles, a pair of mischievous cats, and far more books than one person should own.
