Craig Hatkoff and his two daughters, Juliana and Isabella, are authors of a collection of amazing stories featuring real-life animals from Africa, Germany, and Florida. In the books Owen and Mzee and Looking for Miza, these wild animals overcome great adversity and capture the hearts of people both young and old. Hatkoff discusses the inspiration for writing about these animals, the process of research and documentation, and introduces real world issues to students to empower them to affect change on our planet (recorded in 2009 at C. D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, VA).
