"Illustrated with striking color photography throughout, Seeking the Snow Leopard is a nonfiction picturebook by World Wildlife Federation mountain guide and naturalist Jon Miceler. The true story of how a team of expert scientists and conservationists temporarily tranquilized, studied, and released a snow leopard - outfitting it with a radio collar that would enable its movements to be tracked for almost two years - all to learn more about these majestic and beautiful animals. Seeking the Snow Leopard is fascinating to page through, and highly recommended especially for school or public library picturebook collections." —Midwest Book Review, Reviewer's Choice, The Pets/Wildlife ShelfAuthor Biography
