Beschreibung

Mrs Sciurus, is a mother American grey squirrel, who was born in the UK countryside, but her ancestors weren't.

This story, written and illustrated by wildlife scientist, Dr Colin Bonnington, parallels human social issues, including acceptance & prejudice.

Autor

I am Dr. Colin Bonnington, and I work as an ecologist for a large consultancy, where I survey for wildlife. My stories are all born from my work in the environmental sector. I have completed a PhD into the impact of grey squirrels on wildlife in the UK, at the University of Sheffield, and this is where my idea for this story arose. Before that I completed a Bachelors (Honours) undergraduate degree at the University of Stirling and a Masters degree at the University of Edinburgh, both on environmental themes. I have had a dozen scientific articles published in international journals, including several related to grey squirrels. I also regularly review articles submitted for publication, and this includes working as a reviewer for the African Journal of Ecology, where I also provide advice into writing style etc. I have also worked in East Africa (Tanzania) where I led an environmental research team, where we surveyed all animals big (elephants) and small (frogs). I live in the Cheshire countryside with my wife, cat and we expect our first child in the summer. Having this work published as a children's book signifies a pleasing switch between audiences, whilst still concerning the same subject matter of my PhD. This is the first of three wildlife themed books, which all have at least one character in common.
