Children are still in love with the wonders of nature, and I am too. So I tell them stories about a boy and a falcon, a girl and an elegant wolf pack, about owls, weasels, foxes, prairie dogs, the alpine tundra, the tropical rain forest. And when the telling is done, I hope they will want to protect all the beautiful creatures and places.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean Craighead George\u003c\/b\u003e (1919-2012) was the author of more than 100 beloved books for young people, including the \u003cb\u003eNewbery Award-winning \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eJulie of the Wolves\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003cb\u003eNewbery Honor-winning\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eMy Side of the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e On the Far Side of the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFrightful's Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e .
