This author/illustrator was born in New York City in 1946, but his love for nature led him to raise his own children in the woods of Vermont, where he and his wife live in an old farmhouse. He began his career illustrating nature stories for magazines such as Ranger Rick and Jack and Jill. He went on to create 132 books, with titles like Raccoon on His Own, Rabbit and Raindrops, and Otters Under Water, which provide facts with the gentle tone of a grandfather. My personal favorite of his books is Every Autumn Comes the Bear, written in 1996, following a bear as he prepares to hibernate. This is Jim Arnosky.
