"It is as futile for us to fight technological advances as it was for Plato to battle literacy. Yet I have hope. I have seven grandchildren, all of whom are well-equipped with electronic gadgets.

Congratulations! Sy Montgomery 2010 Children's Book Guild
Nonfiction Award Winner

Sy Montgomery

 

SLJ's Extra Helping: Sy Montgomery talks about tarantulas, orangutans and believing in her readers.
