One of her earliest memories is watching the hawks that would fly into her backyard and perch on the garden stakes. Her passion for animals led her to pursue a career in wildlife biology; Murry earned her PhD in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology at North Carolina State University. As both a naturalist and conservationist, Murry believes that kids, whether living in urban or suburban settings, can connect with nature as there is wildlife all around us.<br \/><br \/><b>Tamisha Anthony<\/b>\u00a0has illustrated several children\u2019s books, including\u00a0<i>Sparrow Loves Birds,\u00a0<\/i><i>There&#8217;s No Place Like\u00a0Hope<\/i> by Janet Lawler and\u00a0<i>Most Perfect You<\/i> by Jazmyn Simon. Her love of educating has led her to teach for organizations such as the New York Historical Society and Make Art That Sells, and to write and illustrate a recurring column for <i>Uppercase<\/i>\u00a0magazine.
