Written By Carole Gerber and Illustrated by Christina Wald. Published by Pelican Publishing

Carole Gerber loves nature, animals and people -- especially little people -- and her writing reflects these interests. A former English teacher and advertising copywriter, she holds a B.S. in education and an M.A. in journalism from Ohio State. Her new picture books include Annie Jump Cannon, Astronomer (2011) and Little Red Bat (2010), both told in prose. Many of her books are written in verse and make learning about natural science fun for elementary students. These titles include Firefly Night, Blizzard, Arctic Dreams, Leaf Jumpers, Winter Trees and the upcoming Spring Blossoms. Carole's chapter book for third- and fourth-graders, Through Children's Eyes: Tales of Old Columbus, shares eight stories about local history. Her books have won awards from the Children's Book Council, the National Science Teachers Association and the Parent Council.
