Cartooning for Bird Conservation

Rosemary makes books and cartoons that connect people with the natural world. Her Bird and Moon nature comics were the
subject of an award-winning museum exhibit and are collected in a book that was a 2019 ALA Great Graphic Novel for Teens. She co-wrote The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid, a New York Times Best Seller. She speaks at birding festivals and writes for Audubon and the PBS Kids show Elinor Wonders Why. Her favorite glacial landform is the esker.
