Montgomery’s trips! STORIES
Sy Montgomery has written
36 books about the animals
Back in the United States, she met an octopus she has met. Here are some
named Octavia who hugged her with eight very of them:
strong arms.
Montgomery wrote books about the animals and
how people can help. (For example, she says that
using cloth or paper shopping bags is better for
wildlife. The plastic ones can get to oceans and
hurt sea turtles!) She says that each of us can use
what we are good at for animals. When she went
to an island in the Pacific Ocean to study tree
kangaroos, there were people who knew how to
find them. There was an artist, a zookeeper, a
vet, and a teacher who helped. “We all did
something important
on that trip.” OPPOSITE PAGE, FROM TOP: NIC BISHOP, AMY KUNZE. THIS PAGE, FROM LEFT: NIC BISHOP, SAM MARSHALL; BOOKS SPREAD: SYMONTGOMERY.COM
