One of her earliest memories is watching the hawks that would fly into her backyard and perch on the garden stakes. Her passion for animals led her to pursue a career in wildlife biology; Murry earned her PhD in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology at North Carolina State University. As both a naturalist and conservationist, Murry believes that kids, whether living in urban or suburban settings, can connect with nature as there is wildlife all around us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTamisha Anthony\u003c\/b\u003e has illustrated several children's books, including \u003ci\u003eSparrow Loves Birds, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThere's No Place Like Hope\u003c\/i\u003e by Janet Lawler and \u003ci\u003eMost Perfect You\u003c\/i\u003e by Jazmyn Simon.
