The author/illustrator team of Sandra Markle and Alan Marks has had a
profound impact on the world of children's nonfiction with their
collaborative efforts on books about different animals around the world.
From wolves in Yellowstone to penguins in Antarctica, readers and
critics have raved about the way in which Markle and Marks share their
stories and information about animals in the wild.
In their newest project, readers are introduced to twin snow leopard
cubs and their mother from the Hindu Kush mountains of Pakistan.
Lyrical, informative text and stunning watercolor illustrations lead
readers through the struggles these snow leopards face--from finding
food to bearing harsh weather conditions--and the lessons the young cubs
learn as they prepare for a life on their own, out from underneath the
watchful, caring eye of their mother.
Back matter includes further resources and facts as well as an author's
note about the research process and information about how we can help
this endangered species.
