| KATHRYN LASKY has had a long fascination with owls. Several years.ago, she began doing extensive research about these birds and their behaviors what they eat, how they fly, how they build or find their nests. She thought that she would someday write a nonfiction book about owls illustrated with photographs by her husband, Christopher Knight. She realized, though, that this would indeed be difficult since owls are nocturnal creatures, shy and hard to find. So she decided to write a fantasy about a world of owls. But even though it is an imaginary world in which owls can speak, think, and dream, she wanted to include as much of their natural history as she could. Kathryn Lasky has written many books, both fiction and nonfiction, including Susaring Time, for which she won a Newbery Honor. Among her fiction books are The Nisht]ourney, a winner of the National Jewish Book Award; and Beyond the Burnin8 Time, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. She has also received The Boston Globe / Horn Book Award as well as The Washington PostChildren's. |
