“I write for children,” said Jean Craighead George. “Children are still in love with the wonders of nature, and I am too. So I tell them stories about a boy and a falcon, a girl and an elegant wolf pack, about owls, weasels, foxes, prairie dogs, the alpine tundra, the tropical rainforest. And when the telling is done, I hope they will want to protect all the beautiful creatures and places.”
~ Jean Craighead George
“Now we have a new book to inspire children. The lesson Jean makes is for humans and wild cougars to coexist. The one thing they need most is space – wild country where they can hunt, hide, and play their part in the natural world. I hope this book inspires its readers to give cougars their wild space. That’s all they need from us”
