    Laura L Root

    Laura Root has been an authority on and writing textbooks about skin care since 1999, but this is her first foray into writing for children! Laura has loved animals all of her life, and nurtured many cats, dogs, hamsters and mice in her youth. Nothing compares, however, to the wonder she has experienced after moving her family to their house in Mesa, AZ. Here, the backyard sits up against a hill in the desert. It is covered with Ironwood Trees, Palo Verde Trees, Barrel Cacti, Sage, Creosote bushes, and many other plants, along with large rocks and boulders that the local animals and birds use to burrow under, hide by and take shade under from the hot Arizona summer sun. Laura started photographing some of the animals who came to her yard, and soon, she was writing parts of this book to narrate the photos. She hopes that you enjoy the book, and she can be contacted at LLROOT@COX.NET! Laura recently moved and now lives in Cave Creek, AZ with her husband, Tom, Yedeed, the Red Abyssinian, and Tango, the Moluccan Cockatoo and looks forward to future adventures with a new group of wildlife.

      Genesis 1:21-22: And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind, and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. KJV
