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!


Some books I've written:
