Meet the Authors

Our second graders read the story Lola & Tiva:  An Unlikely Friendship.  This book is written by Juliana, Isabella, and Craig Hatkoff.  It is a true story so it is considered an orange book on our rainbow of books.
Orange books are nonfiction because they tell stories that really happened.

Juliana, Isabella, and Craig Hatkoff are my favorite team of authors for orange true story books.

Here are some other books written by them:
Orange:  Winter's Tale:  How One Little Dolphin Learned to Swim Again
Orange:  Hope for Winter:  The True Story of a Remarkable Dolphin Friendship
Orange:  Junior Buddy:  A Jaguar's Tale
Orange:  Knut:  How One Little Polar Bear Captivated the World
Orange:  Leo the Snow Leopard
Orange:  Looking for Miza:  The True Story of the Mountain Gorilla Family Who Rescued One of Their Own
Orange:  Owen and Mzee:  The True Story of a Remarkable Friendship
Orange:  Panda Patrol:  Caring for a Cub
