Steve Rich Author

Steve Rich writes books based on his experiences as an educator, nature enthusiast, animal lover, and as a father. He has been published by NSTA Press and Carson-Dellosa. His earliest work, The Migration of Monty Stevens, was first published in condensed form by the University of Alabama Integrated Science Program. His mother often tells the story of finding frogs, snakes, lizards, and turtles resting peacefully in the bottom drawer of a chest of Steve's clothes in his childhood bedroom. Steve grew up with the animals he collected and with his sister - where his favorite outdoor adventures were arriving by boat on Georgia's barrier islands leaving the first footprints of the day on the beach. He uses simple objects like bird feathers, egg shells, and bugs to heighten interest in science and nature - and to share his love of learning. Some call him Georgia's ""butterfly man"" because of his ""love affair"" with the Monarch butterfly and his passion for restoring habitats for butterflies and other pollinators.
