Gail Jewel Hunte

Gail (aka the Animal Talk Lady), loves animals and writing children’s stories, so she has combined the two. Her debut book, Ajeet the Sloth Bear, was written in partnership with Wildlife SOS India and made number 1 on Amazon’s Bestseller list for children’s zoo books. Her next book is Gracie and the Green Monkey and she has lots of other humane education books coming. She believes learning should be fun so though her stories cover important animal welfare issues, they are written in an engaging way to capture children’s imaginations, while still helping to instill a sense of compassion for animals. Gail who lives in Barbados publishes a pet magazine called Animal Talk and hosts a seasonal radio talk show called Animal Craze. Gail is also a trustee with the charity Action for Animals Barbados. She enjoys going to the beach, has three cats and each morning she wakes early to feed the chickens that come for breakfast.
