Notă biografică
Marion Coste, a graduate of Connecticut College, USA, has been involved in the field of education for more than 40 years as an elementary school teacher, college instructor, teacher trainer, and museum director. Growing up on the New Jersey shore, Marion loved to learn about how different animals live in the wild. She was introduced to the fascinating and fragile world of native Hawaiian wildlife by researchers and colleagues at Bishop Museum in Honolulu. Marion is the author of four other books about Hawaiian native species: N?n? (Hawaiian goose), Honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle), K?lea (Pacific Golden Plover), and The Hawaiian Bat, '?pe'ape'a. She has also written Wild Beach, a book about a barrier island beach off Charleston, South Carolina, and Finding Joy, the story of a family who adopted a baby girl from China. Marion was awarded the Anna Cross Giblin nonfiction grant from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators in 1991 and received the 1999 Ka Palapala Po'okela Award for excellence in children's literature for K?lea and honourable mention for the same award in 2006 for The Hawaiian Bat. Rena Ekmanis is a natural science illustrator and fine artist dedicated to conservation, environmental awareness, and environmental education through art. She has a BFA in Drawing from California College of the Arts, USA, a Science Illustration Graduate Certificate from California State University, USA, Monterey Bay, USA, and a Montessori Teaching Certificate from Montessori Education Centre of the Rockies. Rena works in a variety of mediums including watercolour, acrylics, oil paints, ceramic sculpture, and digital media. Among her favourite subjects are cetaceans and other marine life, birds, and endangered species. The artist loves to spend time in the field, hiking, swimming, and scuba diving, in order to get close to her subjects and observe them in their natural habitats. Rena hopes that her artwork contributes to a greater awareness of the miraculous flora and fauna of the earth. She lives on the Big Island of Hawaii, USA.
