#steamteambooks It took decades for the species to come back from the brink after being listed as Extinct in the Wild. Fascinating story.

Conservation of a species is hard. Just like scientists who work to save a species, creators practice craft for yrs before finding success. "Don’t give up. The world needs you and your work." - @darcypattison.bsky.social advice to #KidLit creators.

Interview on my blog today re NOT EXTINCT #EduSky

Cover of the book Not Extinct: The Przewalski's Horse Returns from Extinct in the Wild by Darcy Pattison. The image shows a herd of Przewalski's horses running through snow, with snow being kicked up around their legs. The word “NOT” is stamped in red above the word “EXTINCT” in large black letters.

Happy book birthday to NOT EXTINCT! It's about the endangered horse species, the Przewalski's Horse (Or P-horse for short). Such a different species. #kidlit #steamteambooks #horses #horselovers #endangered #tlsky #edusky

The Children's Book Council has named NOT EXTINCT a Hot Off the Presses book for July! To write this, I visited Prague Zoo and Denver Zoo (where I got to feed a P-horse!). Talked to amazing scientists! #horse #horselover #stem #conservation #STEAMTeamBooks #kidlit #edusky #tlsky

COMING JULY 8.
70 years ago, the P-horse, an Asian native horse species, was declared extinct in the wild. Since then, scientists have battled to bring this amazing horse back from the brink. #kidlit #horses #tlsky #edusky #STEM #elementaryscience
