A Green Earth Book Award Children’s Nonfiction Honor Book about bat biology, habits, history, and the conservation efforts of young people around the world returns in a new sturdy paperback edition.
From the award-winning author of No Shelter Here: Making the World a Kinder Place for Dogs and Cat Champions: Caring for our Feline Friends comes an inspiring book about bats, their importance to a wide range of ecosystems, and the young “bat citizens” who are engaged in conservation efforts around the world.
In Bat Citizens: Defending the Ninjas of the Night, celebrated animal activist and biologist Rob Laidlaw sheds light on these famously shadowy mammals, from their habits and habitats to their importance for maintaining biodiversity. Bat biology is explored alongside the history of human-bat relations, with facts to fascinate even the most nervous reader. Spotlight features on “Bat Citizens” make this an empowering book for children seeking their own expressions of global citizenship.
Bat Citizens was a 2019 Green Earth Book Award Children’s Nonfiction Honor Book and was nominated for both the OLA Forest of Reading Silver Birch Nonfiction Award and the Red Cedar Book Award. With informational sidebars, color photographs, a glossary and index, and a center-gatefold bat illustration, Bat Citizens is a book that will both instruct and inspire.
