Deborah StevensonThe Last Rhino reunites an award-winning team: author Deborah Stevenson and illustrator Morgan Spicer. Their picture books have won numerous awards, including Best Children's Non-Fiction Book, Next Generation Indie Book Awards for Soaring Soren: WhenFrench Bulldogs Fly and Feathered Quill's Best Children's Animal Book for Oy, Elephants! Stevenson and Spicer share a passion for animals that is the heart and soul of their collaboration, and a strong desire to share that passion with children. The Last Rhino is their first chapter book. Deborah enjoyed the freedom to explore more complex plots and characters, and Morgan, the opportunity to utilize her formidable talents in black and white illustrations. For both, the driving force behind this project was to raise awareness and funds to help perilously endangered rhinos survive for future generations. In addition to sharing her love of animals with children, Deborah Stevenson's books convey positive messages about believing in your abilities⎯-to achieve your goals, to make positive differences in the world, and to be kind to yourself and others. A former technical writer, literature major, and a mother, children's books have proven to be a perfect outlet for Deborah's interests. She lives in New Jersey with a few too many dogs, but wouldn't trade any of them. When she is not marketing telecomm products at her day job, or writing, she enjoys training for and competing in the sport of dog agility. Read More Read Less
