Welcome to my website!  I'm Heather L. Montgomery, author of children's articles and books on science and nature. 

As a naturalist, I love to explore the world around me.  As a teacher, I love to share my passion for bugs, rocks and running water.  As an author I get to do both.  My readers get to share in the fun!

Some of my favorite books:

• My Side of the Mountain, Jean Craighead George
• Hatchet, Gary Paulson
• Wild Girls, Pat Murphy
• Earthshake: Poems from the Ground Up, Lisa Westberg Peters
• Leaf Man, Lois Ehlert
• Grandad's Prayers of the Earth, Douglas Wood
• Insectlopedia, Douglas Florian
• The Water Hole, Graeme Base
• Lost Worlds in Alabama Rocks, Jim Lacefield
