About the Author

Anita Sanchez (she/her) is especially fascinated by plants and animals that no one loves, and the unusual, often ignored wild places of the world. Her books sing the praises of the unappreciated- dandelions, poison ivy, tarantulas, mud puddles. Many years of fieldwork and teaching outdoor classes have given her firsthand experience in introducing students to the wonders of nature.
