STEVE'S NEW BOOKS
Steve is writing a book about manatees, an endangered
species. In February 2004, Steve researched manatees
in Florida. With the help of his friend, Sammie Garnett,
Steve arranged for a class of fourth graders from
Panama City Beach, Florida, to go snorkeling with
manatees at Crystal River, Florida. The book will
be photo-illustrated and be geared to 3rd grade and
up. The book will cover the habitat needs, history
of the Florida manatee and the preservation of this
gentle giant. The book will also highlight a 4th-grade
research trip to discover the manatee.

Saratoga, N.Y.-based illustrator, Bruce Hiscock,
illustrated Steve's book
called TURTLE
TIDE. The picture book tells the story
of a loggerhead sea turtle making a nest on a sandy
beach and what becomes of those eggs. Bruce
has done a beautiful job on the watercolor illustrations.
Wings
of Light is Steve's brand new book
for the spring of 2006, also illustrated by Bruce
Hiscock, and it tells the story of the yellow butterfly's
journey from the Mexican rainforest of the Yucatan
to a garden in New England, a distance of more
than two thousand miles. |
