Pamela Moore
About the author-
Pamela Moore has lived in Sheridan, WY for the last 24 years, and taught music to children at all of the Sheridan County School District #2 elementary schools. After retiring in 2018 she turned more of her attention to birds and began writing a children's book. Moore has loved nature for as long as she can remember and she shared that love with children in her music classes for 36 years. As the 1996 Wyoming Teacher of the Year, she shares this quote which she now shares with you.
~ "In the end, we will conserve only what we loved; we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught." Baba Dioum of Senegal
Pamela's dedication to teaching the whole child led her to read a book that would impact her teaching for the rest of her career."Reading Magic" by Mom Fox (2001) states: "Rhymers will be readers: it's that simple." Little did Moore know that one book and a little bird would provide the spark required to put her on a new path. One day, a Pine Siskin actually stepped onto her finger. It allowed her to remove a bothersome glob of gunk from it's beak. then the bird remained sitting on her hand and allowed her to pet it. When it flew off, she was hooked on caring for birds. To learn more about birds, Moore soon joined the local Bighorn Audubon Society. She eventually became a board member serving as Secretary, Education Chair, and Vice President. She has presented numerous educational programs about birds for children. Over the years, other birds would need and accept her assistance before they flew away. Eventually, a juvenile Cedar Waxwing inspired her to write her book, Wyoming Birds for Kids.
Wyoming Birds for Kids was created with the purpose of connecting children and adults with the natural world and amazing birds that live in Wyoming. Birds benefit when people are aware of their habitat needs: shelter, food, and water. Author Pamela Moore shares 24 birds found in Wyoming. Each bird has an original rhyme, illustration, photo, scientific information, and fun facts. This book offers readers an engaging piece of literature, art, and science. Moore hopes Wyoming Birds for Kids will encourage readers to unplug, get away from screens, and get moving outside while exploring the wonderful world of Wyoming birds.
