Debbink, Andrea: - Andrea Debbink is the author of more than a dozen books for children and adults, including The Wild World Handbook series and Thrive Where You're Planted, a guided nature journal for city dwellers. As a suburban-born kid in the Midwest, Andrea grew up exploring the natural wonders that often hide in ordinary places, and she still has a soft spot for city habitats and wildlife. Now as an author and naturalist, she writes about the themes of environmental stewardship, citizen science, and outdoor exploration. Andrea hikes, paddles, and writes in Madison, Wisconsin with her family. Visit her online at andreadebbink.com and Instagram @andrea.debbink.
