Starred PW Review: "Pattison writes crisply and evocatively..." Kids nonfiction picture book. The oldest wild bird in the world faced yet another danger when the Japanese Tsunami struck Midway Island where she lives. This is Wisdom's astounding story of survival of manmade and natural disasters for over 60 years.

At 70 years old, she's still alive and still laying eggs and hatching chicks. A must-read true story to capture the imagination of children of any age. Darcy Pattison's Wisdom, the Midway Albatross inspires young scientists and nature lovers with a true story of an individual animal in an easy to read format with captivating illustrations.

Pattison's science-related books bring kids face to face with the basic questions of science and help them think like scientists. You'll be awed and inspired as you read this amazing story of survival and hope amidst the difficulties of life.

Read Along or Enhanced eBook: Wisdom, the Midway Albatross—the oldest bird in the world—hatched a new chick in 2011, and two months later, the Japanese tsunami struck. Surviving manmade and natural disasters for over 60 years, Wisdom has braved living wild, plastic pollution, longline fishing, lead poisoning, and the Japanese earthquake. In this “Biography in Text and Art,” Harvill takes original photos as references to create accurate wildlife illustrations. These aren’t generic birds, but one particular individual in detail. Pattison’s careful research, vetted by scientists in the field, brings to life this this true story of an infant cub that must face a complicated world alone—and find a way to survive.

A boy unites an immigrant community and rebuilds his family–using a simple sourdough bread recipe.
Eliot Winston, a grieving son, must convince his new step-mother – now Griff Winston’s widow – to adopt him. But when she married Griff Winston, Marj hadn’t bargained on being the single mother of a twelve-year-old boy. Alli Flynn, a foster child new to the school, convinces Eliot that he must fight to keep his family intact and the best way to do that is to help Mrs. Winston with the Bread Project, a fund raising project for the school. With his whole future at stake, Eliot tries hard to please Marj; but as the deadlines near for the Bread Project and for Marj to sign his adoption papers, Eliot finds it harder and harder to hang on to hope.
In the tradition of Dicey’s Song by Cynthia Voigt, this story follows two kids who search for a family and a home.

Environmental rhetorics have expanded awareness of mass extinction, climate change, and pervasive pollution, yet failed to generate collective action that adequately addresses such pressing matters. This book contends that the anemic response to ecological upheaval is due, in part, to an inability to navigate novel forms of environmental guilt. Combining affect theory with rhetorical analysis to examine a range of texts and media, Ecologies of Guilt in Environmental Rhetorics positions guilt as a keystone emotion for contemporary environmental communication, and explores how it is provoked, perpetuated, and framed through everyday discourse. In revealing the need for emotional literacies that productively engage our complicity in global ecological harm, the book looks to a future where guilt—and its symbiotic relationships with anger, shame, and grief—is shaped in tune with the ecologies that sustain us.

Did you know that you have a little bit of dinosaur in you? And it’s your cousin’s fault. She dared you to pitch a peanut high in the air and catch it in your mouth. You didn’t know it had a nitrogen atom that used to be in the egg of a Hadrosaurus. This humorous story follows a nitrogen atom as it journeys from dry bones to your skull – and beyond! The journey began with Book 1, A Little Bit of Dinosuar, which received a starred Kirkus review. It continued in Book 2, A Little Bit of THIS Dinosaur. In this new story, the amazing circle of life—or the conservation of mass—is again illustrated through a historical look at the Hadrosaurus dinosaur. Sisters Elleen Hutcheson and Darcy Pattison team up again for a new adventure with the circle of life. Each still wonders why their mother taught them to throw food and catch it in their mouths.
