"When I think about it, I realize that I don't really differentiate my appr eciation for fiction and non-fiction. A book I enjoy is a book I enjoy, wh ether it's a terrific novel or a book by Steve Jenkins that invites me to s ee and consider creatures of the natural world in a new way.
Great non-fiction books for children and teens can disrupt and realign, or enlighten, or inform my understanding of the world--past, present, future-- in the same way that a fine work of fiction can."
Amen to that!
