Description
How would you feel if your favorite animal no longer existed? The greater prairie chicken, a beautiful bird that lives in central Wisconsin, might have disappeared completely if it weren’t for the work of the husband and wife team of Fran and Frederick Hamerstrom. In this engaging biography, young readers will learn about two nature-lovers who changed the way people think about saving land for animals.
The Hamerstroms dedicated their lives to understanding and preserving wildlife. As students of the famous naturalist Aldo Leopold, they helped establish new ways for humans to think about habitat conservation.
Fran was a brave, outgoing woman who cared more about helping animals than wearing pretty dresses. Frederick was a calm, thoughtful man who loved to study and conduct research. Together, they spent more than thirty years training many future scientists and working to save the greater prairie chicken, and other animals, from extinction.
