Stories behind the story

Are all those animals real?

Yes, all of the Odd Animals introduced in the book are real animals from around the world. Some are endangered.

What do you hope is the main take-away of Odd Animal ABC's?

I hope it sparks curiosity in young readers and makes them want to pick up more books. I want them to say, "The Okapi is cool, I want to know more!" or, "Where can you find a Pink Fairy Armadillo?" I hope this leads them to the nonfiction section of the library.
