With the national forest as a backdrop, one of its important creatures, the Arizona Black Rattlesnake narrates many short stories about the surprising and creative interaction between wild animals who call this place home and humans who are only visitors.

Captivatingly illustrated by a fisheries biologist, discover what happens when a skunk meets Mom in the shed and when the mountain lion lands on the family car.
A full compilation of detailed animal descriptions, taxonomy charts, suggested resources for further exploration, plus questions and projects to expand the learning makes this book valuable for classroom, library and homeschool. It teaches respect for all life and that all creatures have a place in the tapestry of life. A great stepping off point for discussion about how we treat the world around us.
Nancy Hicks Marshall
Author Nancy Hicks Marshall, an advocate for fairness and respect, draws upon her legal experience and familiarity with a county board of supervisors. By shining a light on these six men who courageously upheld their oath of office and their integrity, she offers this essential account of the 2020 elections and what we need to know going forward.A practicing attorney for many years, followed by a career in writing, Marshall has revisited the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in Arizona. Drawing on intimate in-person accounts and conversations about election "monsters," Marshall offers us insight into the courage and integrity of men whose actions prevented the steal of the 2020 elections in Arizona by unscrupulous extremists.Since childhood, Marshall has disliked the abuse of power. In 2009, she defended a young man who was unconstitutionally jailed in the auditorium of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors for exercising his First Amendment rights. That successful defense later led to her multiple award-winning novel, A Dry Hate, covering the time in Arizona history when a popular Sheriff jailed or "investigated" activists, brown people, and political opponents at will. Marshall has also authored both English and Spanish editions of A Rattler's Tale, Un Cuento de Una Serpiente de Cascabel in addition to Finding Zachariah in a Community Garden.
