Join us on Saturday, March 9th as we celebrate Alison Pearce Stevens' new book Animal Climate Heros! Alison will be signing books, talking about her new book, and sharing her love of natural science with guests. We can't wait to see you there!

About the Book:
"What can we do to stop climate change? It's time to call in some superheroes! We have elephants protecting our forests by trampling trees. Whales contributing to ocean health with their massive poo-nados. Sea otters fighting climate change by guarding kelp forests. And spiny anteaters moving 8 tons of soil each year, feeding plants as it goes. So when we protect the habitats of our climate heroes? We're protecting our planet. Get ready to learn all about these four legged, and no-legged, creatures and how YOU can be a climate hero too!"--

About the Author:
Alison Pearce Stevens has been chased by a trumpeter swan, bitten by a bronze-winged duck, and served as a climbing wall for geckos and baby bats. She used to be a beekeeper and still thinks pollinators are some of the coolest things on the planet. Once upon a time, she was Dr. Stevens, science professor, until life took her overseas, at which point she started writing about science and nature for kids because she’s an educator at heart and had to find new ways to share cool things with the world’s most curious people. Some of these included working at museums developing exhibits and curriculum. And since the deep ocean both terrifies and fascinates her, Alison develops content for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from the safety of Nebraska.

Alison writes lots of fun nonfiction: articles, picture books, and middle-grade books. All of her work is inspired by a love of science and nature. She is a regular contributor to Science News Explores, Highlights for Children, ASK, and other kids’ magazines, and has co-authored four books for National Geographic Kids. Rhinos in Nebraska: The Amazing Discovery of the Ashfall Fossil Beds (2021) and Animal Climate Heroes! (2024) were both Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selections. Rhinos also won three Nebraska Book Awards. Detective Dogs are on the Case will be released in September 2024.
