Author Information"Ruth Horowitz is ""drawn to species that get overlooked because they're not big-eyed or cuddly or cute. I hope this book will show readers the rewards of reaching out to a being that may seem utterly alien at first glance."" Kate Kiesler makes her home in the mountains but enjoyed painting the seashore. ""On a snowy day I could walk into my studio and be at the beach. Sometimes I could almost smell the salty air."""
