* "Amara's unabashed loved for bats will help challenge
preconceived notions about the often-misunderstood animals, and
even though this is fiction, it contains great reference content,
including nicely labeled illustrations of identifiable species of
bat. . . . An inviting and informative picture about wildlife
conservation that might inspire kids to take action in their own
communities."
*Booklist, Starred Review*
"Full of informative, fun, and engaging messages about bats, such
as what it takes for them to thrive and the food chains they’re
part of. . . . A captivating book about nature, bats, and
environmental activism."
