About the Author
KATHRYN LASKY has had a long fascination with owls. Sev-eral years ago, she began doing extensive research about these birds and their behaviors — what they eat, how they fly, how they build or find their nests. She thought that she would someday write a nonfiction book about owls illus trated with photographs by her husband, Christopher Knight. She realized, though, that this would indeed bedifficult since owls are nocturnal creatures, shy and hard to find. So she decided to write a fantasy about a world of owls. But even though it is an imaginary world in which owls can speak, think, and dream, she wanted to include as much of their natural history as she could.
Kathryn Lasky has written many books, both fiction and nonfiction. She has collaborated with her husband on such nonfiction books as Sugaring Time, for which she won a Newbery Honor; The Most Beautiful Roof in the World; and most recently, Interrupted Journey: Sawing Endangered Sea Turtles. Among her fiction books are The NishtJourne2, a win- ner of the National Jewish Book Award; Beyond the Burning Time, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults; True North: A Journey to the New World; Dreams in the Golden Country; and Porkenstein. She has written for the My Name Is America series, The Journal of Augustus Pelletien The Lewis and Clark Expedition, 8o4, and several books for The Royal Diary series including Elizabeth I: Red Rose of the House of Tudor, England, 544, and Jahanara, Princess of Princesses, India, 1627. She hasalso received the Boston Globe Horn Book Award as well asthe Washington Post Children's Book Guild Award for her contribution to nonfiction.
Lasky and her husband live in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
