Eye on the Wild Children's Book Launch

Do you love baby animals? What about baby cheetahs or gorillas, photographed in their natural habitats?  Come meet Bay Area award-winning photographer Suzi Eszterhas at the launch of her new children's book series, Eye on the Wild. This series, beginning with Cheetah and Gorilla, follows a baby animal from birth to adulthood. Suzi, who lives in Marin county and whose work is often featured in Ranger Rick, National Geographic Kids, and TIME magazines, has unmatched access to these animals in the wild. View beautiful, large photographs from both Cheetah and Gorilla and hear Suzi tell family-friendly stories about her adventures in Africa, India and beyond. Book signing to follow presentation. Recommended for ages 4 to adult.

A portion of the proceeds from the sales of Suzi's books will be donated to the Wildlife Conservation Network (www.wildnet.org). WCN is based in Los Altos, CA and currently supports twelve wildlife projects including two for cheetahs: Cheetah Conservation Fund (www.cheetah.org) and Cheetah Conservation Botswana (www.cheetahbotswana.org).
