SYNOPSIS
The Secret Lives
of Animals is the perfect mix of field guide know-how and

maps, the meat of the book will offer up “spark moments” in nature—something
fascinating or memorable that catches your attention and sets you on a path of
lifelong learning. The Secret Lives of Animals will feature more than 100 North American animals and over
1,000 tidbits in a fun, colorful, illustrated format.

ABOUT THE
AUTHORS
Stacy Tornio is an Oklahoma girl at heart, though she’s lived in
Wisconsin for the last 10 years. As editor of Birds & Blooms Magazine,
Stacy is able to share her love of backyard nature. Her first book, Cathy’s
Animal Garden, takes readers on a picture journey into the neighbor’s scary
backyard in search of a homerun baseball. Project Garden, her recent book, is a
monthly guide filled with activities to keep the whole family gardening all
year long. Along with her husband, Steve, Stacy enjoys watching her two
children explore nature in their Milwaukee backyard and on trips up north.
Ken Keffer was born and raised in Wyoming. A vagabond
naturalist, he’s done a little bit of everything, from monitoring mice and vole
populations and picking up carnivore scat in Grand Teton National Park to
researching flying squirrels in the Tongass National Forest of southeast
Alaska, and monitoring Bactrian camels in Mongolia’s Great Gobi Strictly
Protected Area. He’s also worked as an environmental educator in Wyoming,
northern New Mexico, coastal Maryland, and along the shores of Lake Erie in
Ohio. Ken enjoys birding, floating on lazy rivers, and fly fishing in the
mountains out west.
