Wisdom, the Midway Albatross
Starred Review in Publisher's Weekly: "Pattison write crisply and evocatively."The Oldest Bird in the World Survives the Japanese TsunamiThe oldest bird in the world, documented with banding, is Wisdom, the Midway Albatross. She was on Midway when the Japanese Tsunami hit and this is her amazing story of survival of manmade and natural disasters for over 60 years. She has survived the dangers of living wild, plastic pollution, longline fishing, lead poisoning, and the Japanese earthquake. At 65, she's still laying eggs and hatching chicks. See her Facebook page at facebook.com/wisdomthealbatrossWildlife artist Kitty Harvill used photos as a reference for her luminous watercolors. Her ability to depict a specific individual, not just a generic image of a species, makes this a unique portrait and a biography in text and art. Pattison's story, vetted by scientists in the field, explains the difficulties of surviving in the wild for a Laysan albatross. It's incredible that the bird banding program happened to band this unique bird early in her life and can still follow her story today.Read this children's nonfiction picture book, story of survival and hope amidst the difficulties of life.CHILDREN'S ANIMAL BOOK SERIESBird.

Boys Ride Horses - Ludwig Rides Out
Do we really need to point out nowadays that boys can ride horses? We believe the answer is yes! In the past, horse riding was done mostly by men. Over the last century, women and girls have rightly claimed their place in equestrian sport. So far, so good. Today, however, equestrian boys in many cases struggle, and prejudices can appear as early as preschool. Most boys have never seen a boy on a horse and cannot even imagine it. This book aims to give boys an opportunity for identification.Thirteen-year-old Ludwig proves that horse riding is for boys. With his pony Diddy, he rides out into the countryside. He rides through the forest, gallops across a freshly mown grain field, and rides through a giant puddle. The book also shows how to care for a horse before and after riding, and it shows the friendly relationship between rider and horse.Suitable for all agesA clear, factual narrativeConcise text with highlighted key termsMore than 80 photos
